Not just a day off: What does Juneteenth mean to me?

A member of team holds one of the Juneteenth Freedom Day patches during the African American Heritage Council’s block party on Osan Air Base, Republic of Korea, June 19, 2022. The AAHC hosted events throughout the week to celebrate Juneteenth. The federal holiday was named for June 19, 1865, when the remaining enslaved African Americans were notified of their freedom, more than two years after Pres. Abraham Lincoln, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Kristin High)
