It's Juneteenth.
Today we commemorate the official end of slavery in the United States — a
defining moment in our nation’s continuing journey toward justice and
equality for everyone.
Juneteenth is a day to reflect on the hard-won progress that generations
of Black Americans have fought for and a moment to acknowledge the work
that remains.
The promise of freedom delivered on June 19, 1865, was historic, but the
struggle for equity and opportunity continues to this day. We must keep
fighting for these ideals.
When I voted to recognize Juneteenth as a federal holiday in 2021, I did
so knowing that symbolic progress must be matched with real action. This
day reminds us of our shared responsibility to confront injustice, reject
racism in all its forms, and build a future where everyone has a fair shot
— regardless of their race, background, income, or zip code.
Let us honor this day not just with remembrance but with purpose. Together
we can build a more perfect union rooted in equality, dignity, inclusion,
and freedom for all of us.
– Chris
