Juneteenth is currently recognized as a state holiday by 47 states and the District of Columbia, though legislation to make it a national holiday hasCelebrations of the holiday started in 1866, one year after Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in Texas with more than 2,000 Union troops with news that slavery had been abolished.
Texas was the first state to recognize Juneteenth as a state holiday on January 1, 1980.But in case it wasn’t already obvious, no, Trump did not popularize the holiday. He didn’t even know his own White House has made statements in celebration of Juneteenth for the last three years. For someone whohe's centered himself in discussions about a holiday celebrated by the Black community in the most ignorant way possible.
