Alabama Makes Juneteenth State Holiday, For Now


June 13, 2022

The state of Alabama has now made Juneteenth a holiday for its workers…but there is a catch for future celebrations to come.

According to reports, Governor Kay Ivey sent out a memo declaring that Juneteenth will be a holiday for state workers in Alabama. The memo was circulated earlier this month, decreeing that offices will be closed on Monday, June 20th as Juneteenth – which is normally celebrated on June 19th. This year, that date falls on a Sunday.
