With a vote of 415-14, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to make Juneteenth National Independence Day a federal holiday, and President Joe Biden signed it into law on June 17, 2021. This is the first new federal holiday since Martin Luther King Jr. Day was named in 1983.

As Benzinga's Phil Hall wrote this week, Juneteenth is an observance of the events of June 19, 1865, in Galveston, Texas, when the last Black slaves of the Confederacy were ordered freed following the arrival of Union troops.

Here is a look at three stocks to watch ahead of the holiday.
