The White House is enthusiastically celebrating Juneteenth and Pride Month with an entire week of exciting events. Juneteenth, a significant occasion that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States, has now been officially recognized as a federal holiday since 2021. As a result, all non-essential federal offices are closed on Monday, along with banks, the stock market, and the U.S. Postal Service.
