Today, we recognize Juneteenth National Independence Day. Celebrated annually on June 19, Juneteenth commemorates the day in 1865 when news of emancipation reached enslaved African Americans in Texas, marking a significant milestone in our nation's history.
During its June 17, 2026, meeting, Newberry County Council approved a proclamation declaring June 19, 2026, as Juneteenth in Newberry County and encouraging residents to recognize the importance of this day and its lasting impact on our nation and community.
Newberry County also recognizes and appreciates the dedicated individuals who help organize the annual Newberry Juneteenth Festival, which will take place Saturday, June 20, in downtown Newberry.

Newberry County Council had the pleasure of recognizing Keith Suber of Newberry County Public Works for 20 years of service to the county.
County Administrator Ted Luckadoo had this to say about Keith:
"Keith came to Newberry County Public Works in June 2006. During his 20 years with the department, he has held various roles, from driver/operator to member of the management team.
"Early on, he spent a good bit of time as a driver, hauling various materials and operating most of the county’s equipment. He worked briefly with Solid Waste before moving into the role of sign manager. In that role, he handled all sign production and maintenance for county roads, as well as various state and municipal roads, regarding street name signs and other needs as they arose.
"Keith then moved into his first management/supervisory role, serving as one of two crew leaders for the department. In this role, he supervised half of the department’s employees and planned their daily activities accordingly.
"After his time as a crew leader, Newberry County created the position of operations manager, with Keith taking on that role. As operations manager, he has been responsible for much of the department’s daily work planning, as well as leading the department during various emergency and inclement weather events. Additionally, he has assisted other departments with support from Public Works as needed and has coordinated with other departments on various projects.
"At times, Keith has attended both CTC and Newberry County Council meetings, serving as a representative of Public Works. Keith has worn many hats for the department and attended various training classes over the years, which have provided him with the knowledge and preparation to both serve and lead as needed.
"Keith also boasts an excellent attendance record over his 20 years of service, demonstrating that he has been steady and dependable throughout his tenure. Keith has been an asset to the county, and his two decades of service are greatly appreciated."
Congratulations Keith and thank you for your service to Newberry County!
