Did Kamala Harris Celebrate Juneteenth With a Dinner Served by Black Servants?

Viral social media posts claim to show Vice President Kamala Harris and a number of senators celebrating Juneteenth while being served by black servants. 

The dinner was not, in fact, a celebration of Juneteenth but a dinner Harris hosted at the Naval Observatory—the vice president’s residence—for women in the U.S. Senate.
