This Monday is the holiday, which honors the abolition of slavery in the Confederate states. The law designating Juneteenth National Independence Day a government holiday was signed by President Joe Biden in 2021.

The number of states that observe the holiday varies, but at least 28 states and the District of Columbia will do so this year, according to a Pew Research Centre estimate.

As a result, many Americans will be off work that day, and some gyms, shops, restaurants, and other establishments might close their doors or operate with fewer hours.
