Gunfire at a rally in a Chicago suburb claimed many lives. At least 19 people were injured and one person killed on Sunday evening in Willowbrook, Illinois, according to a police spokesman after a fire broke out at a party marking the birthday of “Juneteenth”. The incident happened in a parking lot around midnight. The background to the act was initially unclear.
US President Joe Biden has only declared June 19, 2021 as a national holiday. In the United States, Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery. On that day in 1865, the Emancipation Proclamation was proclaimed, freeing the slaves of Texas. In the southern state and some other US states, “Juneteenth” has long been a holiday. (sda/dpa)
