United States Mint’s Post

The Mint celebrates Juneteenth! At the end of the Civil War in 1865, hundreds of thousands of people remained enslaved, despite the Emancipation Proclamation being issued nearly 2 years earlier. On June 19, 1865, Major General Gordon Granger traveled to Galveston, Texas, and issued General Order Number 3, which declared that all slaves are free. This momentous occasion has been celebrated as Juneteenth – a combination of June and 19 – for over 150 years. On June 17, 2021, it officially became a federal holiday. hashtag #Juneteenth

“Being an ally is a choice!” The Mint celebrated LGBTQIA+ Pride Month with a panel discussion on the importance of allyship. Panel members Robert York, Erin Whelan, Mark Eckstein, and Nick Burgart discussed the importance of being a visible and vocal ally at home and at work.
