Juneteenth commemorates the date that slavery in the United States was considered officially over, as Union troops marched into Galveston, Texas and ensured enslaved people there were freed on June 19, 1865. With the signing of the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act in 2021, Juneteenth became a federal holiday. We invite you to practice 19 Days of Wellness in observance of Juneteenth.This year, the Supporters of 8CRE at NIH will observe Juneteenth over the first 19 days of June, with a focus towards the wellness of self, family/friends, and community.
