Do you know about Juneteenth? It is a U.S. federal holiday on June 19th, nationally recognized since just 2021, though celebrated widely for generations by many people. It commemorates the emancipation of enslaved people in the U.S. The holiday was first celebrated in Texas, where on that date in 1865, in the aftermath of the Civil War, enslaved people were informed that they were legally free under the terms of the 1862 Emancipation Proclamation.
