According to Wikipedia, Juneteenth is officially known as Juneteenth National Independence Day. It is a federal holiday in the United States and is celebrated annually on June 19th to commemorate the ending of slavery in the United States. Today is June 19, so it's the day to celebrate in 2024.
Added later: A big crowd showed up for the Juneteenth documentary we watched this afternoon in our Community Room. More than they expected, actually! Afterwards, we ate red velvet cupcakes and strawberries.
