Under Trump, Juneteenth was marred by controversy — with Biden, it's a federal holiday

: Juneteenth, which on June 19 commemorates the end of slavery in the United States.

"We are gathered here, in a house built by enslaved people," said Vice President Kamala Harris, the first Black woman to hold the title. "We are footsteps away from where President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, and we are here to witness President Joe Biden establish Juneteenth as a national holiday.

In mid-June of 2020, all of those factors — Tulsa, Juneteenth, the waves of protest and the Covid pandemic — posed problems for then-President"I made Juneteenth very famous," Trumpafter moving the date of the rally. "It's actually an important event, an important time. But nobody had ever heard of it."

The Confederate Army under Gen. Robert E. Lee had surrendered at Appomattox in Virginia on April 9, 1865, a capitulation that led to the end of the Civil War. But it wasn't until June 19 that Union forces under Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in the coastal city of Galveston, Texas, to deliver"The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free," the order reads.

Where were all these people under the Obama administration

And sad point out that under Obama it received no national attention.

So , whose really benefiting ?

What a great achievement / milestone. God knows what could be next, maybe a burial ceremony for Champ on live TV?

Who writes this crap?

Pander

Under Biden? Been a Texas holiday. Civil servants got more leave than anyone on the planet and now one more day. Biden will likely get rid of Christmas since Dems hate it

Cùng sở thích.

What has happened since Joe Biden has become president, gas prices have gone up the border is out of control inflation is on the rise taxes are going to increase this man is a total disaster this is what you voted for

Thank you now I have another holiday I will enjoy it

By controversy, you mean that you didn’t like it because he supported it.

The Martin Luther King holiday is now diminished, this great man wanted to see people based on their character not the color. Juneteenth is a woke holiday started by white people that want to see people based on their color not their character.

Was it though?

Lol you are so shameless

Oh pleeeze, stop with the narrative.... Did Presidents Obama or Clinton push for the holiday or even publically bring it up in their combined 16 years?

Biden will make the date of his dog's death as Federal Holiday soon, loool

So stupid lol

Marred?……..yeah right…..

Thank you for sharing DNC mouthpiece !!

Trump lives rent free forever in Biden’s administration. Never anything original

Before Trump, no one heard of “Juneteenth”. I think that spells it out better.

Biden said the N-word while in the Senate 42 times. It's on CSPAN cameras not Foxnews Trump said it 0 times yet NBC news is still calling Trump the racist and Biden nonracist

What’s funny is this the only thing he will do and claim I helped the people when I fact he will do nothing to help them at all. Just continue to sleep with China

Biased Reporting by CNBC.

CNBC = MSNBC

Now what about us getting paid for being forced into slavery, 40 aches and my mule is a start

Many of you were also journalist once, now just propagandists.

Omar’s 5th District Minneapolis will make world news soon. Trust me

Yes well. What ever the media’s narrative is for a subject, it goes that way. If Trump did this, he would be considered racist.

Black ppl can care less about this holiday, i think they would rather not have it. Most POC want everyone to stop talking about race so much. Anglos came up with this so they can feel better for something they did not do. White guilt on steroids

‘As Long as the Party Embraces Trump, It’s Going to Have Trouble’The Republican collapse in Michigan’s Oakland County, once a stronghold, was a long time coming. Is losing these suburbs a warning light for Trumpism? Don’t be surprised if we don’t see more George Zimmerman incidents Nice try focusing on Michigan's rich Oakland County. From Mi. Wayne County. So-called 'Biden Republicans,' anyone else alarmed by Biden's bizarre policies, massive spending after less than 5 mos will rue the day they voted for Biden. Agree that Trump has to get out of the way. This is the uncomfortable truth: the presidency currently hangs on the decisions of the voters who voted Obama, then Trump, then 'back' to Biden. I can't wrap my head around it either, but that's our current political reality.
