[ARCHIVED] Looking Back: Recognizing Juneteenth

Juneteen 2020 for web

 Current and former BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) elected officials of Orange County have come together to observe Juneteenth by sharing the history of Juneteenth and planning celebrations of local Black history and culture. Defining moments in history remind us of the ongoing fight for freedom, justice and equity. Watch these special programs via the links below! 

  • The BIPOC Elected Officials of Orange County shared a Resolution in Recognition of Juneteenth in June 2021. The BIPOC Electeds are a rainbow coalition (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) with representation from the towns of Carrboro, Chapel Hill and Hillsborough; Orange County Board of County Commissioners; the NC General Assembly; the Orange County School Board; and the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School Board.
