The Hollywood Bowl event celebrated Juneteenth , the holiday that marks the end of slavery in the US. From icons like Earth Wind & Fire to R&B stars like Khalid, Black artists across genres took the stage on Sunday. Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021, but many Black Americans have honored the date for years with parades, parties and family gatherings. The holiday is also an opportunity to reflect on the persisting systemic inequalities that Black Americans face. CNN's Don Lemon spoke with Opal Lee about her work to make Juneteenth a federal holiday.
