Juneteenth, the newest federal holiday, is gaining awareness
SUMMARY: Americans celebrated Juneteenth this weekend, marking the third year since President Biden designated it as a federal holiday. The date commemorates the fall of slavery in Galveston, Texas, and symbolizes the transition from slavery to freedom. While the holiday is gaining recognition and celebrated by more people, concerns have been raised about the commercialization and politicization of the historic event. Some see Juneteenth as a chance for the US to rethink its origins and its people's relationships with one another, serving as a symbolic litmus test for the nation's possibilities.
