Now a federally recognized holiday, we celebrate June 19, 1865, the date when Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas with the news that the more than 250,000 enslaved Black people in the state were free. Learn more about the history of Juneteenth.
Spark is excited to participate in Juneteenth Celebrations in Colorado! This holiday fits perfectly with our mission and values, as our work is centered in the reinforcement and empowerment of our collective humanity to drive social change, support our most vulnerable friends and neighbors, and create an inclusive, equitable, and aware community.
