Juneteenth is here.
The holiday, which commemorates the end of slavery in Confederate states, is Monday. President Joe Biden signed legislation in 2021 making Juneteenth National Independence Day a federal holiday.
State recognition of the holiday varies, but at least 28 states and the District of Columbia will legally recognize Juneteenth as a public holiday this year, according to a Pew Research Center analysis.
That means that many Americans will have the day off work and some gyms, stores, restaurants and other businesses may be shuttered or operate with reduced hours.
