Black Americans have long celebrated Juneteenth, which commemorates the day in 1865 when a Union general rode into Galveston, Texas and told enslaved people there that the war was over and they were free — months after the conflict had ended and more than two years after Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.

President Trump appeared to mark Juneteenth — a day he has commemorated in the past — by arguing businesses are closed for "too many non-working holidays."
