On Juneteenth we remember that the fight for racial justice is ongoing and
that words must be matched with action.

Juneteenth has been celebrated by Black communities for decades, and in
2021 I was proud to vote to make Juneteenth a federal holiday. While the
Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 technically freed enslaved Americans,
slavery remained in places like Texas, where Confederates still wielded
control. On June 19, 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas and
announced that enslaved people were free. Ever since, Juneteenth has been
a day of celebration for many.

We must also acknowledge the work that needs to be done to uplift Black
communities. I’ll keep pushing for policies and a government that truly
does so.
