If you are curious about the history of this holiday, it was President Joe Biden who signed the bill making this the eleventh American federal holiday on June 17, 2021. Biden is the first to obtain legal observance for a new federal holiday since Martin Luther King Jr. Day was designated in 1983. On this day in 1865 the enslaved Black people in Galveston, Texas were informed by Union Troops that the Emancipation Proclamation had been signed by Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863.
