EXCERPT:
TLAIB: “Juneteenth is a reminder that freedom must be more than a promise. It must be reflected in our schools, our workplaces, our neighborhoods, and in our democracy. Black neighbors need more than a day, Mr. Speaker. They deserve reparations. So let's celebrate Juneteenth, but let's be a reminder that again, the future must include real results and real accountability for every family so they can thrive and the community can be valued.”
