Answer: YES

Explanation: Juneteenth commemorates the day, June 19 1865, when all slaves in the United States were freed. Juneteenth is not only Black history but American history. 13% of the entire American population would still be slaves today without Juneteenth. Juneteenth established freedom and liberty for all African Americans/Blacks in America. Therefore, Juneteenth should be a national holiday (and perhaps even a global holiday).
