It's Juneteenth Day
Juneteenth, also known as Juneteenth
Independence Day, Freedom Day, or Emancipation Day, is a holiday in the
United States that commemorates the announcement of the abolition of
slavery in the U.S. state of Texas in 1865, and more generally the
emancipation of African-American citizens throughout the United States.
