    U.S. Army Staff Sgt. O’Bosi Roland, a Selma, Alabama, native and mechanic assigned to 1st Battalion, 28th Infantry Regiment “Black Lions,” 3rd Infantry Division, teaches Soldiers about Juneteenth during a class on Camp Fuji, Japan, June 19, 2021. President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law June 17, 2021, officially making June 19 a federal holiday and giving national recognition to a day commemorating emancipation. This holiday commemorates June 19, 1865, when a group of Union soldiers informed enslaved people in Texas that they had been freed two years earlier by the Emancipation Proclamation.
