What is Juneteenth? 🗓 Juneteenth is an annual commemoration of the end of slavery in the U.S. after the Civil War.
It has been celebrated by African Americans since the late 1800s and President Biden officially declared it a federal holiday just last year.
As a federal holiday most government offices and related business like post offices and banks are closed today. 🇺🇸
Can you guess the last federal holiday the government made official before Juneteenth? Let me know in the comments below!
