Gsa Calendar 2024 Juneteenth

As we approach the year 2024, we look forward to celebrating Juneteenth as a federal holiday in the United States. Juneteenth, also known as Emancipation Day, Freedom Day, or Jubilee Day, commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced that all slaves were free, more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.
