Celebrate Juneteenth

Following the death of George Floyd in May 2020, protests and violent riots took place across the country, once again revealing deep racial divisions.

National dialogue centers on systemic racism, critical race theory, and whether Confederate monuments should remain fixed in public places. These debates have often put passions ahead of reason. Still, there are actions worthy of reaffirming the freedoms available for all. One such move is recognizing Juneteenth as a federal holiday.
