May 28 Juneteenth will now be a free day at Washington state parks.
The day which falls on June 19 and is also known as Emancipation Day and Freedom Day commemorates the day when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, in 1865 and informed the last enslaved African Americans there that they were free.
“The new designation reflects a commitment among state lands agencies to promote diversity, equity and inclusion as core values,” Washington State Parks and Recreation said in a news release.
Other free days next month include: June 5 for National Trails Day, June 12 for National Get Outdoors Day and June 13 for Free Fishing Weekend.
Free access to state parks April 22 in honor of Earth Day
