LANCASTER, Pa. (WHTM) — On Thursday, President Joe Biden signed legislation to make Juneteenth a federal holiday, the day commemorating the end of slavery, and it will be observed on June 19.

The new holiday gives a Lancaster art exhibit extra meaning. Black Artist Waystation features five artists who showcase the paths toward freedom and equality. Shelby Wormley put together a photographic exhibit from the Black Lives Matter project in Lancaster this summer.

“Lancaster County has always played a role in civil rights in one way, shape, or form, and there’s a lot of history here. So, I think us taking time to pay tribute with what happened here last year is really important,” Wormley said.
