What is Juneteenth?
President Joe Biden signs Juneteenth into law as a federal holiday on June 17, 2021.
Juneteenth is a
United States federal holiday, celebrated annually on
June 19. It commemorates the final end of slavery in the US on June 19, 1865, when Union Army general Gordon Granger proclaimed freedom for slaves in Galveston, Texas, the last state of the Confederacy with institutional slavery. The Word
Juneteenth is a portmanteau (a blend of words in which parts of multiple words are combined to form a new word) of June and nineteenth.
Juneteenth was made a federal holiday by President Joe Biden on June 17, 2021. It is the 11th federal holiday in the US and the first new federal holiday in nearly 40 years after
Martin Luther King Day was designated in 1983.
