What is Juneteenth?
In 2021, President Joe Biden signed a bill commemorating Juneteenth as a federal holiday. The date is significant in American History and commemorates June 19th, 1865 as the day slavery ended in the United States .
Despite declaring Juneteenth as a federal holiday, Black Americans continue to face a plethora of systemic challenges, such as the racial wealth and education gap, disproportionate incarceration, and persistent health disparities, all while contributing 1 trillion a year as consumers to the American economy.
