Juneteenth Has Been Celebrated for Over a Century
Emerging story
In June 2020, then-President Donald Trump told the Wall Street Journal: “I did something good: I made Juneteenth very famous,” after scheduling a campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma – home to the Tulsa race massacre – on June 19.
In June 2021, President Joe Biden signed a bill to recognize Juneteenth as a federal holiday. This, along with the publication of a Politico article about Trump’s post-George Floyd month, led social media users to recirculate Trump’s claim.
