Monday marks the first recognition of Juneteenth as an official state holiday and the staff at WSU Insider hopes you make the most of your long weekend. Fresh posting will resume on Tuesday.
Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, the day when news of the end of the Civil War finally reached Galveston, Texas, nearly two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed by President Abraham Lincoln.
The university encourages Cougs to join with their local communities to observe this historic occasion.
