TO: Planning & Community Development Committee
FROM: Niesha Fort-Brooks, Community Engagement Manager
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: April 9, 2021
SUBJECT: City of Tukwila - 2021 Juneteenth Commemoration Update -Digital Platform
Roadshow
Issue
Staff is briefing the Planning & Community Development Committee on the 2021 Juneteenth
Commemoration event.
Background
In 2020 the Council adopted Resolution 1992, declaring that Juneteenth will be recognized every year
in Tukwila as a celebration of emancipation and an opportunity to honor African Americans in our
community through continued learning and understanding of the impacts of slavery.
Staff is working to develop and plan for a 2021 Juneteenth Commemoration. Due to the coronavirus
pandemic and to ensure the safety of Tukwila residents, community members, businesses and guests,
the Experience Tukwila website.
The Lodging Tax Advisory Committee has committed to a financial contribution of $5,000. These funds
will be used to purchase materials and to compensate guest performers and possibly youth engaged in
the planning effort. Currently, staff is working in partnership with the Equity and Social Justice
Commission, the Equity Policy Implementation Committee (EPIC), Parks and Recreation and Tukwila
Children's Foundation to plan the event. The planning group has agreed to start with a smaller event
this year both due to the pandemic, as well as this being the first annual event with the goal of
growing the Juneteenth event over time to a truly Tukwila annual event. Staff is engaging with Foster
, as well as a former Parks and
Recreation artist in residence.
Staff has been convening the Juneteenth sub-committee once a week since the beginning of March
2021 with the goal to meet once a week up until the day of the event. The planning process is still in
development with the goal to have a finalized plan by May 3, 2021. Attached is a draft Juneteenth
Commemoration Roadshow plan.
