Issue
Staff is briefing the Council on the final draft roadshow plan for the 2021 Juneteenth Commemoration
event.
Background
In 2020 the Tukwila City Council adopted Resolution 1992, declaring that Juneteenth will be recognized
in our community every year. The event will be a celebration of emancipation and an opportunity to
honor African Americans through continued learning and understanding of the impacts of slavery.
Staff has developed a final draft plan for a 2021 Juneteenth Commemoration. To ensure the safety of
Tukwila residents, community members, businesses and guests during the coronavirus pandemic, the
City will present this inaugural year Juneteenth event on the Experience Tukwila website. Though
starting modestly, the planning group has the goal of growing the Juneteenth event over time into a
significant annual Tukwila event.
The Lodging Tax Advisory Committee has committed to a financial contribution of $5,000. These funds
will be used to purchase materials and compensate guest performers. Staff has worked in partnership
with the Equity and Social Justice Commission, the Equity Policy Implementation Committee (EPIC), the
Parks and Recreation Department, the Tukwila Children's Foundation, and the Northwest African
American Museum.
Staff has engaged with Foster High School's Black Student Union and the former Parks and Recreation
artist in residence. Both community members have agreed to participate in this year's event.
On April 19, the planning committee convened with the Planning & Community Development
Committee to provide an update on the initial planning stage. Since then, staff has been able to
schedule most of the pre -recordings. Attached is a final draft Juneteenth Commemoration Roadshow
plan.
