paid our respects to the victims period there and although time has passed our community continues to offer hope to the survivors and the families of the victims to show appreciation for our City's First Responders and medical professionals and we continue to respond to that one hateful act with love and unity as well as action to ensure that Orlando is inclusive for the lgbtq plus residents and everybody that calls Orlando home as we work to create a more Equitable one Orlando for all it's also important to learn from our nation's past one week from today our community will celebrate Juneteenth which marks the end of slavery in the United States on June the 19th 1865 commemorating Juneteenth provides us with the opportunity to celebrate the Civil Rights progress and also recognize that the injustices of black Americans have endured and for the first time Juneteenth is a recognized holiday for the city of Orlando and I want to thank commissioner Hill and commissioner Burns for their leadership in bringing that particular issue forward I want to invite your entire Community to join our second annual Juneteenth celebration which will be on Saturday at Clear Lake Park from 11
