Juneteenth Proclamation
PROCLAMATION OF THE PORT OF SEATTLE COMMISSION WHEREAS, Black lives matter; and WHEREAS, racial oppression is deeply rooted in our nation’s early beginnings — from the mass exploitation of Native American populations to the enslavement of Black Americans — and acknowledging this checkered past is essential to healing and creating a more equitable future; and WHEREAS, on January 1, 1863, President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation declared “that all persons held as slaves...are, and henceforward shall be free”; and WHEREAS, news and enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation did not reach Texas until June 19, 1865, two and one half years later – when Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the Civil War had ended and that the enslaved were now free; and WHEREAS, Juneteenth (June 19th) is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States; and WHEREAS, in 2003, Port employee Lilyian Caswell-Isley, former Director of Social Responsibility, led the first celebration of Juneteenth at the Port, and through the leadership of Blacks in Government, the Port continues to celebrate Juneteenth annually; and WHEREAS, the Port of Seattle Commission has a social responsibility to combat systemic racism and racism in all its nefarious forms, and work to contribute to a more equitable and just world; and WHEREAS, the Century Agenda Goal 5 calls for the Port to “Become a Model for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion;” and WHEREAS, in 2019 the Port established an Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion to address institutional racism and increase equity, diversity, and inclusion in Port policies, processes, and programs; and WHEREAS, the official recognition of Juneteenth as a Port Holiday is a significant way that we can celebrate freedom, help create a culture of belonging, and a more equitable, anti-racist Port culture. NOW, THEREFORE, the Port of Seattle Commission hereby honors and recognizes Juneteenth, the 19th of June each year, as an official Port Holiday for non-represented employees, and one of the many ways we celebrate our rich African-American cultural heritage, acknowledge our history of institutional racism and slavery, demonstrate that Black lives matter, and advance racial equity. Proclaimed by the Port of Seattle Commission this 17th Day of November, 2020.
