On Juneteenth, we celebrate Black freedom, resilience, culture, and the enduring strength of community across generations. We acknowledge our nation’s full history and the long, ongoing fight for freedom and justice for Black Americans. As a United States Senator, I was proud to co-sponsor a bill to make this day a federal holiday. As Vice President of the United States, it was my honor to stand beside President Biden as he signed that bill into law. Today and every day, let us celebrate the heroes of this movement and the work that lies ahead.
