Montgomery, Alabama
Gov. Kay Ivey has again authorized Juneteenth— the day commemorating the end of slavery in the U.S. — as a state holiday, while legislative efforts to make it a permanent holiday in the state have so far faltered.
Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, the day enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, learned from Union soldiers that they were free. The news came two months after the end of the Civil War and about 2 1/2 years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
