Kamala Harris announced that she would be proposing a bill to make Juneteenth a national holiday. She announced it on MSNBC then again on twitter saying,
Juneteenth may have passed but the work continues to recognize it as a federal holiday. Our new bill would honor it with the respect it deserves and ensure every American remembers the millions who suffered, died and survived the crushing reality of slavery in America.
