Juneteenth 2023
June 19, 2023
The YLI Office is closed on June 19th, 2023 
in celebration of Juneteenth! Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Deriving its name from combining June and nineteenth, it is celebrated on the anniversary of the order, issued by Major General Gordon Granger on June 19, 1865, proclaiming freedom for slaves in Texas.
We encourage all those in the Erie area to check out our own city celebration that is happening in Downtown Erie. Check out the Facebook link below for more information!
