By Andy Furman NKyTribune reporter Juneteenth is Monday, June 19th. In Covington, Juneteenth is a month-long celebration. Thanks to Phyllis Taylor, the VP of the Northern Kentucky Juneteenth Committee. 'Last year, Phyllis went to the city of Covington,' Robin Williams, a friend and committee member, told the Northern Kentucky Tribune. 'She asked the city to hang the Juneteenth flag.' They did that – and more. The City of Covington made Juneteenth a holiday. The committee has raised the flag at Covington's Randolph Park – and it is proudly displayed for the entire month.
