While the Emancipation Proclamation was signed into law in 1863, it effectively had zero legal impact since the Confederacy had seceded from the Union. As a result enslaved Blacks remained in bondage 2 years after President Lincoln sign the proclamation.
On June 17, 2021, President Biden signed into law a long over due Senate Bill making “Juneteenth” a federal holiday.
