Happy
Independence Day! As always, I take this day to celebrate and
reflect on how great this country is and how proud I am to serve
it in the United States Congress.

I’ve always commemorated July 4th, but this year
the holiday is even more meaningful to me. With the official
establishment of Juneteenth as a national holiday just a few
weeks before Independence Day, I feel even more patriotic today.

This
country is not perfect; it wasn’t perfect when it was founded and
it’s not perfect today. What makes this country so special it
it’s ability to overcome and get better. And that change comes
from within, from citizens who are determined to create a more
equal and fair society.

Juneteenth — which commemorates notifying Texas
slaves they were emancipated — reminds me today of the progress
we have made. Slavery was legal for nearly 100 years in America
and existed for much longer.

We
overcame an inhumane system that was entrenched within our
society. People living during that time would be stunned to see
how far we’ve come since then.

Racial injustice still lingers today, in our criminal justice
system, in our health care system, in our access to voting. But
I’m confident that the country that overcame slavery can also
overcome the racist policies we experience today.

It will be hard work, but we can succeed if we
work together.

Always fighting,

— Hank Johnson
