The American Embassy in Beirut announced that it will be closed on Friday in observance of "Juneteenth," which commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. Juneteenth is considered the second national Independence Day and recalls a historic event on June 19, 1865, when Union forces announced the emancipation of slaves in Texas, symbolizing the end of slavery and reaffirming the values of freedom and equality. This day became an official federal holiday in 2021, with cultural and historical events held to remind society of civil rights and justice.
