Background
On January 1, 1863 the emancipation proclamation was signed by Abraham Lincoln

of the south and southwest for another two and a half years. The first known celebration
of this news occurred in Galveston, Texas following the arrival of the Union Army on
June 19, 1865 and has been celebrated by African Americans for the last 150 years.
The holiday has is also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day or Emancipation Day and
is continued to be celebrated throughout the country.
In Hopkins, local entrepreneur Jessica Winnie and her business Minnesota Black Box,
has organized the “Juneteenth Jubilee” which will be held at the Hopkins Center for the
Arts and will be an opportunity to celebrate the holiday through creating a space to heal,
build and support local Black owned businesses. Ms. Winnie will attend the meeting on

Next Steps

Southwestern United States; and
WHEREAS, this news of freedom reached Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865 and is the
site of the first celebration of Juneteenth; and
WHEREAS, June 19th has a special meaning to African-Americans, and is called

area.
2.07 Individuals under the age of 21 will not be allowed in any designated area where liquor or beer is
sold or consumed, except if accompanied by a parent or guardian.

checking identification to ensure that underage individuals do not purchase liquor or beer:
Anyone wishing to purchase beer must have a either a driver's license, or a Minnesota ID with
their picture. Individuals with the proper ID will have their hand stamped so that the actual
sellers of the liquor or beer will not have to check IDs. If the event exceeds one day, a different
color of ink must be used on subsequent days.
2.09 No temporary liquor license shall be issued in conjunction with a youth activity.1
2.10 The number of temporary liquor licenses issued in conjunction with all public events2 during any
calendar year will be limited to twelve (12).
2.11 The City Council reserves the right to deny any liquor license at its sole discretion.
