Hello, my name is Earnest Covington, III. I am the director of Office of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (ODHH). We are proud to be a sponsor of Black ASL Nation Expo’s third annual Juneteenth Celebration!
On Friday and Saturday, June 14-15, 2024, we are celebrating Juneteenth in the heart of Seattle.
Join us on Friday night for an ASL Social, and on Saturday all day for a day filled with food, music, and games.
Together, we are stronger! See you there!
Accessibility: We are committed to equitable and inclusive access. Events will be in ASL with spoken English interpretation and captioning services provided. Please contact us at [email protected] for other accommodation requests.
ODHH requests community feedback regarding alternatives for “stakeholders” terminology. Fill out a short two-question survey.
