If you have errands to run at the post office, make sure to get them done early. The U.S. Postal Service will be closed on Friday, June 19, in observation of the Juneteenth federal holiday.
There will be no mail delivery on Friday, though some select locations will keep self-service options open for customers. Normal operations, including mail service, will resume on Saturday.
Holiday Closures
The Postal Service closure aligns with a broader holiday schedule, as most banks, as well as federal, state, and local offices, will also remain closed this Friday.
The History of Juneteenth
Juneteenth marks the events of June 19, 1865, in Galveston, Texas. It was there that Major Gen. Gordon Granger and Union soldiers announced that the Civil War had concluded and that all enslaved people were now free. This historic news arrived two-and-a-half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, which had been largely ignored by Confederate states until the end of the conflict.
The holiday’s name is derived from combining “June” and “nineteenth.” Also referred to as Emancipation Day or African American Freedom Day, the observance first emerged around 1903. It was officially signed into law as a federal holiday on June 17, 2021, by President Joe Biden.
