Juneteenth Celebrated on Thursday, June 19, 2025 – Federal, State, Local Offices Closed
Juneteenth is a Federal Holiday celebrated annually on June 19th to commemorate the end of slavery in the United States. This is the 5th year the holiday has been celebrated. Federal, State, and local offices will be closed. Most retailers and private businesses will remain open.
Gardner Magazine put out an original song last Fall created from an original Juneteenth poem written by Werner Poegel. This year, the song has been redone in various genres. The powerful theme states the following: “The sentient soul is only free amidst absolute equality. White, black, brown, or blue, every color of the rainbow too. Differences embraced as perfect creations of a loving God. Discrimination disgraced as perpetrating the ultimate fraud…This is the Sentient Soul of American Freedom, all of us equal as God’s will be done.” Differences are simply variations on perfection.
