It's a day late, happy Juneteenth. Growing up in Texas I have been familiar with Juneteenth and am glad to see it getting recognized nationwide. It's an important day to celebrate and to reflect on. As a kid it was shocking to learn that even after the emancipation proclamation that enslavement was still happening. And that it happened in my home state. I hope it becomes a federal holiday and that we continue to learn the truths of our history and actively work to correct the ongoing injustices.
