Today, we remember the day that the last American slaves were told that
slavery was abolished and they were free – two years after Emancipation.

The celebrations that followed on June 19th, 1965 in Galveston, Texas have
evolved into a tradition that has been recognized across America for 155
years.

It was an honor to vote this week to officially make Juneteenth a national
holiday in the United States. The Juneteenth National Holiday will allow
all of us to learn more about the heroic contributions of Black Americans
and better understand our country’s history. It’s long overdue. 

But so are voting rights. So is restorative justice. So is true equality.
We must never lose sight of the long struggle ahead.

Today, we celebrate the distance our nation has come while reflecting on
the distance still left to travel.
