Metro is commemorating Juneteenth with a brand-new commemorative card available now at Metro Customer Centers and select TVMs below.  

On June 19th 1865, enslaved Black people were declared free, after years of slavery and cruel and inhumane treatment, and they experienced freedom for the first time in their lives. The day has become recognized as Juneteenth, also known as Emancipation Day or Juneteenth Independence Day, and it became a federal holiday in 2021 by President Joe Biden.  Though this day provided a new life for many Black people, they continued to face racism and discrimination that is still prevalent today. Knowing the history of this day is vital to understanding the importance of having a holiday that celebrates Black people and all of their contributions and successes to this country.
