“Juneteenth“, 纪念美国奴隶制的结束,这个节日好几年的了。
抄一个:Juneteenth, officially Juneteenth National Independence Day, is a federal holiday in the United States. It is celebrated annually on June 19 to commemorate the ending of slavery in the United States. The holiday's name is a portmanteau of the words "June" and "nineteenth", as it was on June 19, 1865, when Major General Gordon Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas at the end of the American Civil War. Although this date commemorates enslaved people learning of their freedom under the Emancipation Proclamation, this only applied to former Confederate states. There remained legally enslaved people in states that never seceded from the Union. These people did not gain their freedom until the ratification of the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution on December 6, 1865.
2021 年,总统乔·拜登签署《六月节国家独立日法案》,六月节被定为联邦假日。自 1983 年设立马丁·路德·金纪念日以来,六月节成为又一个与美国奴隶制度相关的新的联邦假日。
