Biden to attend Juneteenth celebration in Galveston
Former President Biden will attend a Juneteenth celebration at a historic church in Galveston, Texas, on Thursday, The Associated Press reported. Biden will attend the event hosted by the Reedy Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church — one of the places the order announcing the end of slavery in Texas was read on June 19, 1865. That historic day is now commemorated each year on June 19. Biden signed legislation into law making Juneteenth a federal holiday in 2021. The church, which describes itself as 'the birthplace of Juneteenth,' hosts an annual celebration including a 'family fun day,' a historic reenactment of the 'emancipation march,' and an 'emancipation service,' according to the website. Biden marked Juneteenth last year about a week early, hosting a celebration concert at the White House that included singers Gladys Knight and Patti LaBelle. 'The day reminds us that we have a hell of a lot more work to do,' Biden told the nearly 1,700 attendees. 'Let's keep marching. Let's keep the faith.' President Trump does not have any public events listed for Thursday. A White House official told The Hill that the president plans to sign a proclamation declaring June 19, 2025, as 'Juneteenth Day of Observance.' The Hill has reached out to Biden's office about his plans. Updated at 5:35 p.m. EDT Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Trump on Juneteenth: US has ‘too many non-working holidays'
Related video: Juneteenth: Safety, politics lead to downsized or canceled celebrations | Morning in America President Trump said the country is losing money due to the number of federal holidays on Thursday, which marks Juneteenth, the newest addition to the U.S. holiday calendar. 'Too many non-working holidays in America. It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed,' the president wrote in a Truth Social post. 'The workers don't want it either,' he added. Government employees are traditionally given the day off on federal holidays while receiving pay. Juneteenth, created to celebrate the freedom of enslaved Black Americans, was designated as a federal holiday in 2021 by former President Biden. 'Soon we'll end up having a holiday for every once working day of the year. It must change if we are going to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!' Trump wrote on Thursday. The president did not participate in any Juneteenth events or celebrations. Biden, while in office, hosted a celebratory concert on the South Lawn with famous Black performers and invited a range of elected officials to attend the formal gathering. This year, the former president participated in a commemorative event in Galveston, Texas. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Biden in Juneteenth remarks rips ‘efforts to erase history'
Former President Biden during a speech Thursday night to mark Juneteenth, the holiday that commemorates the emancipation of slaves in the U.S. in the 1860s, blasted 'efforts to erase history.' 'I took the view as president, we need to be honest about our history — especially in the face of ongoing efforts to erase our history,' Biden said at a church in Galveston, Texas, founded by slaves in 1848. Biden also took a swipe at President Trump's decision to restore the names of military installations that honored Confederate generals. 'I played a role in changing names of all those military camps with names tied to slavery,' Biden said. 'What are they doing now? Reinstating those names.' 'Folks, darkness can hide much but can erase nothing, and only with truth can come justice and healing,' he added. Congress passed bipartisan legislation to make Juneteenth a federal holiday in 2021, and Biden signed it into law. 'Democrats and Republicans came together in overwhelming numbers memorialize this profound moment in American history,' Biden recalled late Thursday. 'The events of Juneteenth are of monumental importance to the American story.' Trump, who vowed on the campaign trail in 2020 to establish Juneteenth as a federal holiday, didn't formally recognize the holiday Thursday, as he had during his first term. He posted on social media that there are 'too many non-working holidays.' 'Soon we'll end up having a holiday for every once working day of the year,' Trump wrote on Truth Social. 'It must change if we are going to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked during Thursday's press briefing whether Trump planned to sign a Juneteenth proclamation. 'I'm not tracking his signature on a proclamation today,' she said. 'We are working 24/7 right now.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
