Is Juneteenth still a federal holiday? Confusion surrounds Trump administration's anti-DEI push
With Memorial Day weekend behind us, many are already looking ahead to the next federal holiday—or simply their next day off. The next day off work, not too far, is on June 19, also known as Juneteenth. This day became a federal holiday in 2021, when former President Joe Biden signed bipartisan legislation into law. Here is more about this day. Short for June nineteenth, Juneteenth is a day that many celebrate for the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in Texas in 1865. No, the holiday is not banned. However, this year, some Juneteenth events are being called off, and while the reasons vary, a few organizers are pointing to the shifting political landscape under President Donald Trump's leadership. There's no direct link between the Trump administration and the cancellations, but the renewed focus on limiting federal diversity and inclusion programs has stirred concern among some groups. According to Newsweek, here are several cities that have canceled Juneteenth celebrations: Indianapolis, IN Bend, OR Plano, IL Here are all of the 11 U.S. holidays: New Year's Day, Jan. 1 Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, Jan. 20 Washington's Birthday/Presidents' Day, Feb. 17 Memorial Day, May 26 Juneteenth National Independence Day, June 19 Independence Day, July 4 Labor Day, Sept. 1 Columbus Day, Oct. 13 Veterans' Day, Nov. 11 Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 27 Christmas Day, Dec. 25 Vanessa Countryman is the Trending Topics Reporter for the the Deep South Connect Team Georgia.
