In case you were not paying attention, Wednesday June 19th (Juneteenth) is a Federal and CT State holiday. Also the U.S. Stock Exchanges and the Bond Market are closed.
The day marks the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in Texas on June 19, 1865, more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued his Emancipation Proclamation.
