Which of these is a national U.S. holiday?

Juneteenth, one of the national holidays USCIS lists.

  1. Valentine's Day
  2. Halloween
  3. Juneteenth ✔

Why: USCIS lists 11 national holidays, including Juneteenth. Valentine's Day and Halloween are popular, but they are not national holidays.

Huh, didn't know that: Juneteenth, June 19, became a federal holiday in 2021 and marks the day in 1865 when news of freedom reached enslaved people in Galveston, Texas.
