One thought on “Congress approves bill to make Juneteenth a federal holiday

  1. “Several members of the Congressional Black Caucus took to the floor to speak…”

    Did any of the Congressional Caucasian Caucus comment? No because there should not be such a thing!

    Probably makes me a racist for expecting Congress to Represent “We the People”, what a concept.

    Rep. Brenda Lawrence, D-Mich., replied, “I want to say to my white colleagues on the other side: Getting your independence from being enslaved in a country is different from a country getting independence to rule themselves.”

    Brenda, how so and half the country (that was predominately Caucasian) sent there family members to die to end slavery, what would you say to them!
