The holiday was officially recognized in 2021 after President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law.
Juneteenth marks the day Union Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced enslaved people were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.
The legislation designated June 19 as a legal public holiday, making it the first new federal holiday since Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 1983.
