The U.S. federal government declared the end of slavery for African-Americans in the Thirteenth Constitutional Amendment in early 1863, and Texas did not give them their freedom until June 19, 1865. In 1980, Texas was the first state to make Juneteenth a state holiday, introduced and then legislated by Democratic State Representative Edward. On June 15, 2021, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed a bill to make Juneteenth a federal holiday, and the next day the House of Representatives voted 415 to 14 in favor. President Joe Biden signed the bill into law on June 17, designating Juneteenth as a national holiday commemorating the abolition of slavery in the United States, and the government said most federal employees could take the holiday off to celebrate.
