John,
Today, we observe 160 years of Juneteenth, celebrating the liberation and resilience of Black Americans. On June 19, 1865, the news of freedom finally reached the last emancipated people in Texas, two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, and 160 years later, we are still fighting for equality and justice.
Juneteenth has always connected past and present – but it is especially important this year. Trump has been working overtime to roll back diversity, equity, and inclusion in our federal government and working to make our nation less fair, less just, and less inclusive.
We’re not going to stand for it. In Congress, I am working to further federal support for Black history education, bolster civil rights protections, and expand economic opportunity for all. Black culture and history are etched into our country’s history and culture – and I am celebrating that powerful sentiment today and every day.
I hope we all have the opportunity today to immerse ourselves in the strength of our diversity while reflecting on the needs of our Black communities.
There’s no greater honor than fighting for the rights of my people and every disenfranchised American during this pivotal time in our history.
Gratefully,
Shontel Brown
