An empty gesture. Pass the voting rights bill.
U.S. Senate has unanimously passed a bill to establish Juneteenth as a federal holiday. The bill now goes to the House. If it passes, Juneteenth will become the 11th federal holiday.https://on.msnbc.com/35t8d89

Can someone tell me what date "Juneteenth" is? Let's start with that!

June 19th. It’s when the Union informed Texas that it was time to end slavery. It happened a year or so after the emancipation proclamation.

A holiday about Juneteenth? Isn't the history of this holiday being banned in our schools? Can someone explain this?
