Sunday was Juneteenth, the holiday commemorating the effective end of slavery in the U.S. Though it has been celebrated since 1866, it wasn’t declared a federal holiday until last year. With that, there has been an influx of corporations and other businesses creating merchandise related to Juneteenth, or releasing branded products incorporating a Juneteenth motif.
