Riverton Borough joins communities across the nation in recognizing Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States.

Observed each year on June 19, Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when news of freedom finally reached enslaved people in Galveston, Texas-more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. This important day serves as a reminder of our nation's history, the ongoing pursuit of equality, and the enduring strength and resilience of those who fought for freedom and justice.

As we recognize Juneteenth, we encourage all residents to reflect on the values of liberty, opportunity, and mutual respect that help strengthen our community and our country.
Please also see the attached event flyer for Juneteenth events tonight in Cinnaminson as a shared event for Palmyra, Riverton and Cinnaminson. ... See MoreSee Less
