Airmen receive food during a Juneteenth luncheon event, June 16, 2022, at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans by executive decree on June 19, 1865. It became a federal holiday in 2021 when U.S. President Joseph R. Biden officially signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law. The U.S. Air Force celebrates multicultural contributions to national defense in an environment where all Airmen are valued and respected for their identity, culture, and background.
