President Joe Biden signed a bill making Juneteenth a federal holiday on June 17, 2021. Juneteenth, observed on June 19th, commemorates the end of slavery in the United States, specifically the day in 1865 when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, were informed of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
