On June 19 this year, we will celebrate Juneteenth as a federal holiday, as signed into law last year by President Biden. It was first celebrated in 1865 in Galveston, Texas.


Celebrated nationally ever since, the day acknowledges the end of slavery. It also recognizes and honors African-American culture.
