Wait, Is Juneteenth a Day Off?

Juneteenth is officially a federal holiday now, but does that mean everything shuts down? Not exactly! Banks, post offices, schools, and federal offices are closed, but big stores like Walmart and Target are still open. If you’re working hourly, you might score some holiday pay. It’s wild to think Juneteenth only became a federal holiday in 2021—after being celebrated for over 150 years! #Juneteenth #FederalHoliday #DidYouKnow #Culture
