The newest Federal Holiday is today.
Juneteenth National Independence Day has been celebrated in parts of the country for years but became a National Holiday two years ago when President Joe Biden signed the law proclaiming the day as a Federal Holiday.
Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of Slaves in Texas on June 19, 1865.
The Federal Holiday Designation means Federal Government Offices and many State and County Offices will be closed today as well as banks and financial institutions.
