WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 19: Members of the U.S. Colored Troops, a network of living historians and Civil War re-enactors from Maryland, Georgia, Massachusetts and other states, and members of the Royal Court of National Miss Juneteenth Georgia Pageant pose together for photographs and chant "Power Top The People" in front of the Lincoln Memorial during the Juneteenth People's Parade on June 19, 2024 in Washington, DC. The first federal holiday to be established in almost 40 years, the Juneteenth National Independence Day marks the day in 1865 when the last enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas, learned that they had been freed two years earlier by the Emancipation Proclamation.
