## Resource

Juneteenth isn’t just history—it’s a living celebration of freedom, now a federal holiday since 2021, shutting down post offices, banks, and the stock market, but leaving most stores and restaurants open for your grocery runs or quick bites. While some cities delay trash pickup, others keep their regular schedule—check locally. And while federal workers get the day off, private employers decide if you do. It’s a day to honor the delayed liberation of enslaved Texans in 1865, and a reminder that freedom’s journey is still unfolding.
