“To me, making Juneteenth a federal holiday wasn't just a symbolic gesture. It was a statement of fact for this country to acknowledge the origin of the original sin of slavery, to understand the war was never fought over it, it wasn't just about a union, but it was most fundamentally about the country and freedom."
“America is a promise — a promise of freedom, liberty and justice," Harris said."The story of Juneteenth as we celebrate it is a story of our ongoing fight to realize that promise. Not for some, but all.”
