Annual Juneteenth Celebration in Olean

Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. Note that this was two and a half years after President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation - which had become official January 1, 1863. The Emancipation Proclamation had little impact on the Texans due to the minimal number of Union troops to enforce the new Executive Order. However, with the surrender of General Lee in April of 1865, and the arrival of General Granger's regiment, the forces were finally strong enough to influence and overcome the resistance

Pride Month Celebrations June 2024

In June, we celebrate and recognize Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month in honor of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising. The purpose of the commemorative month is to recognize the impact that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals have had on history; locally, nationally, and internationally.
The Stonewall Riots occurred due to a raid by New York City police on the Stonewall Inn, a gay club located in Greenwich Village on June 28th, 1969. Angered by police harassment and social discrimination, the events of June 28th sparked six days of protests and galvanized the gay rights movement. America's first gay pride parade was held on the one-year anniversary of the riots.
Pride Month was first recognized in 1994 when a coalition of education-based organizations in the United States designated October as LGBT History Month. The federal government first recognized the month in 1999 when President Bill Clinton declared June "Gay & Lesbian Pride Month." In 2009, President Barack Obama declared June LGBT Pride Month. On 1 June 2021, President Joe Biden declared June LGBTQ Pride Month.
The Department of Defense celebrated its first Pride Month in June of 2012 following the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" in 2011. Here at Joint Base Andrews, we have honored Pride Month in a number of ways with the first full scale celebration in 2017 with the theme "LGBT: I am an American Airman." During the month, Airmen served as parade marshals for the Washington, D.C. Capital Pride parade, participated in a 5K run, and held a panel discussion. This year's celebrations will include a Pride Month Panel broadcasted on Joint Base Andrews Facebook page and a Pride Day Color Run at 7 a.m. on the 28th of June.
