Juneteenth & Loving Day Picnic

CELEBRATE CIVIL RIGHTS!

The MINORITY LAW CAUCUS of the University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law invites you, your family, children and friends to the 2ND ANNUAL LOVING DAY AND JUNETEENTH POTLUCK PICNIC to celebrate two LANDMARKS OF CIVIL RIGHTS in the United States at on Saturday, June 13 at Sugar House Park.

  • On June 12, 1967, in Loving v. Virginia, 388 US 1, the U.S. Supreme Court ended all state laws banning interracial marriage. Mildred Loving passed away last year. “Loving Day” events are marked nationwide.
  • “Juneteenth” is the oldest nationally-recognized commemoration of the 13th Amendment and the end of slavery. It is also called African American Independence Day.

    The MINORITY LAW CAUCUS is also proud to announce that this potluck picnic is generously sponsored by the law firm of STOEL RIVES.

    What: Potluck picnic to celebrate civil rights, so bring your favorite salads, desserts or even chips! MLC will supplement with burgers, buns and sodas.
