This is the day that has been widely recognized as the day slavery ended. Since this holiday falls on Saturday this year, it will be celebrated on Friday. This is the first federal holiday since Ronald Reagan signed into law Martin Luther King Jr. in 1983 holiday that is now widely celebrated in America.
