Inaugural City of Sacramento Juneteenth Flag Raising Ceremony

Winter 1850, the City of Sacramento was incorporated by the California State Legislature during the height of the California Gold Rush.

Both free and enslaved early California Pioneers of Pan African Ancestry were apart of our Gold Rush Era Heritage during the transition from Mexican to American rule.

California became the 31st State upsetting the balance of 15 slave states and 15 Free states

Today, our City of Sacramento does not recognize Juneteenth as a official paid holiday in alignment with our newest Title 5 US Federal Holiday.

Everyone is invited to come share this historic occasion, a very special flag raising ceremony on the way to our 160th Anniversary Year of Juneteenth.

Together, we recognize the symbolic year of 1865, at the close of our U.S. Civil War that preserved the Union and ended Chattel Slavery throughout America.
