Juneteenth 2024: Who is working? What is open?
(NewsNation) — Wednesday is Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, marking when the last enslaved people in the United States learned they were free.
President Joe Biden signed a bill to designate Juneteenth, which falls on June 19, as a federal holiday, and all 50 states and the District of Columbia recognize it as a holiday or observance. However, according to the Congressional Research Service, only 28 states have made it a permanent paid or legal holiday with legislation or executive action.
