13:00Now PlayingWalmart thought it was wise to celebrate Juneteenth by selling specialty ice cream.
The Great Value brand has removed the Juneteenth ice cream designed to "celebrate African-American culture, emancipation, and enduring hope."
The retail giant received tons of backlash from the ice cream on social media.
It has since responded: "Juneteenth holiday marks a celebration of freedom and independence. However, we received feedback that a few items caused concern for some of our customers and we sincerely apologize. We are reviewing our assortment and will remove items as appropriate"
Juneteenth was the day in 1865 when Union Soldiers told the slaves in Galveston, Texas, that they were free, two and a half after the Emancipation Proclamation.
Juneteenth became a federal holiday last year.
