Mayor Lisa J Brown is happy to announce Kevin Hall as the new Chief of the Spokane Police Department. From public feedback to department personnel, it was clear our community wants a leader who demonstrates character, integrity, and accountability, brings best practices to the department, and is dedicated to the safety of everyone in our community. Chief Hall is that leader and I am grateful that he has agreed to serve in this role. https://lnkd.in/d_KXnypP

Happy Juneteenth! Today marks the 159th anniversary of the day that General Gordon Granger rode into Galveston, Texas, announcing that all 250,000+ previously enslaved black Americans in Texas were now free. General Granger’s historic June 19, 1865 announcement came over two years AFTER President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. Juneteenth is also referred to as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, Emancipation Day, and Liberation Day.
