Governor Hogan Announces State Closures for Juneteenth Holiday

ANNAPOLIS, MD—Governor Larry Hogan today announced that state government agencies and offices will be closed on Friday, June 18, 2021 in observance of Juneteenth National Independence Day. Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States.

“This is an important step forward for our country,” said Governor Hogan. “Maryland is proud to support this legislation, and observe this new national holiday.”

Congress has passed S. 475, bipartisan legislation recognizing June 19 as Juneteenth National Independence Day. By law, whenever a national holiday falls on a Saturday, state employees observe the holiday on the preceding Friday.

In addition, Governor Hogan has issued a proclamation in honor of Juneteenth. Read the proclamation.

    1. Please Please Please will you STOP it with this Civil War crap. White people are too afraid to take up arms to do anything that will end this deliberate act of destroying this Country. There is no, absolutely no organized regional, yet alone national, groups, militias, nothing that can coordinate well planned reaction by white people. Nothing.

  1. I guess the next Federal holiday will be George Floyd day. To honor a criminal and a drug addict. Where in the hell is this country headed? History is history and in the past, we learn from it and move on. Some things may have been bad like slavery but don’t forget that blacks had black slaves as well. The idiots in Washington continue to want to invent the wheel. All of this nonsense is pure bullshit!!!!

  2. Tomorrow’s going to be good. Let’s take bets on how many start shooting up “juneteenth: celebrations. They shoot each other up a funerals, weddings, barbeques, baby showers so you know tomorrow will be no different
