President Biden signs the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law marking the end of slavery in the United States, as a federal holiday.
RELATED:
Juneteenth marks the day when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, were notified of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1865.
While President Abraham Lincoln delivered his proclamation freeing all enslaved people in rebelling states in 1862, Confederate troops and slaveholders in states that had seceded did not observe the proclamation until Union troops arrived to liberate the enslaved people, the last of whom were in Galveston.

The Day Republicans freed all the Democrats Slaves. Lol!
And Dems passing it as a holiday, what’s your point
@Mulo Shanzi The point is you’re in their pockets now.
@Briant Brito Most African Americans have been celebrating this for years, so why would it make a difference now? This is just an important moments in history that everyone should celebrate.
When republicans were progressive. Not the same today
More symbolism I see…. Now can we get down to the real business of cutting that reparations check…..
Everyone today has equal access to tools to make life better, USE THEM or don’t! It starts with SELF MOTIVATION, not handouts.
@1pcmedic I agree with you on the access to the tools so far as the equality and the playing field being level that’s another story however it’s not about handouts it’s about what is owed point blank….
@MyNameIsCorey You were never a slave, I never owned one. It’s over for “THOSE” who were.
More pandering, did anyone ask about Hunter using the n-word?

I’m from the UK, I and my colleagues gave him a try and it has been good returns of our investment, Thanks Mr Richard Williams
I’ve got 12th winning thanks to Mr Richard Williams he’s really the best, I’ve made £16,400 in 18 days working with him
Really y’all know him? I even thought I’m the only one he has helped walk through the fears and falls of trading
Yes I can believe that, I got victory with him, I was so sad after receiving the first try knowing I invested so low with fear😓😫
Seen a lot of story about him, he must be honest and for people to talk this good about him
Instead of acknowledging jueteenth in a way that we could heal and move on as a country we are now going to continue to use it as racist division. Well done Biden well done being the divider in Chief
So government employees get more days off that the working class pays for? Got it.
Many believe one of the keys to success is
waking up early each and every day. Having a head start before everyone one else and begin on step ahead at all the time and fully prepare. When others are still sleeping you are already working.
I heard that his strategies are really good
Yeah
He has really made a good name for himself
I heard that his strategies are really good first investment with Thomaslogan earned me profit of over $24,320 US dollars and ever since then he has been delivering
He’s obviously the best I invested $200USD with him and in 9 days I made s profit of $9101USD
I’ve seen different recommendations about Mr. Thomaslogan, he must be very exceptional for people to talk this good about him
Pandering to blacks from the president who was mentored by KKK members Robert Byrd and Strom Thurmond.
What about that law against lynching
Repperassion day.
Whites have suffered far more than Blacks due to slavery. Take a moment to ponder that statement
