It was by no means a total abolition of slavery, which didn\u2019t come until 1865 with the ratification of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archives.gov\/milestone-documents\/13th-amendment#:~:text=The%2013th%20Amendment%20to%20the%20United%20States%20Constitution%20provides%20that,place%20subject%20to%20their%20jurisdiction.%22\" target=\"_blank\">the 13th Amendment, <\/a>but the Emancipation Proclamation added \u201cmoral force\u201d to the Union\u2019s cause for the war, historians say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And in some ways, it did deliver liberation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFormerly enslaved people immediately sought to reunify families, establish schools, run for political office, push radical legislation and even sue slaveholders for compensation\u201d in the post-emancipation period, according to the National Museum of African American History and Culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/this-day-in-history\/texas-bill-makes-juneteenth-an-official-state-holiday\">Texas became the first state<\/a> to make Juneteenth an official government holiday in 1979, decades after communities had been celebrating the day in their own circles. It wasn\u2019t until 2021, nearly 156 years later President Biden signed a bill into law to establish the holiday federally after an overwhelming 415-to-14 House vote and unanimous passage through the Senate, t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/juneteenth-federal-holiday\/2021\/06\/16\/7be284d8-ceba-11eb-a7f1-52b8870bef7c_story.html\">he Washington Post<\/a> reported at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo me, making Juneteenth a federal holiday wasn\u2019t just a symbolic gesture,\u201d said Biden in remarks last year. \u201cIt was a statement of fact for this country to acknowledge the original sin of slavery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Washington, D.C., government offices will be closed on Wednesday, June 19, and most federal employees with have the day off, according to the Office of Personnel Management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, the holiday falls in the middle of the work week, and unless agencies or the President declare any additional days off, it\u2019s not guaranteed employees will be granted more leave before or after to create a long weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, in past years, the President has issued an executive order excusing workers from duty on the day before or day after Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In any case, department heads do have the authority to grant administrative leave to employees at their discretion. More recently, the Department of Agriculture gave its employees <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fs.usda.gov\/inside-fs\/mail-call\/usda-appreciation-and-admin-leave\" target=\"_blank\">four hours of free leave<\/a> for Public Service Recognition Week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On June 19, 1865, troops came to Galveston, Texas, two-and-a-half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the historic document that freed slaves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":79460,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":31,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[11,31,58,33],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3269],"class_list":["post-27830","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fedlife","category-home","category-lifestyle","category-newsletters"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"2QMJ37FYGJGC7BR5DK7TVQPVZA","arc_canonical_url":"\/home\/2024\/06\/05\/juneteenth-falls-on-a-wednesday-this-year-do-feds-get-the-day-off\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Juneteenth falls on a Wednesday this year.
