It mattered then because it marked the end of slavery in this country, and it matters now because it says to Black communities, this is not just your history—this is everyone’s shared history, and we celebrate it together. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Every year, as a nation we mark the Fourth of July, celebrating our independence from English colonial rule—but that freedom did not include everyone. It’s time we elevate #Juneteenth, not just as a celebration by and for some, but one acknowledged and commemorated by all of us. https://t.co/4AI4fmmAmn — PolitiTweet.org

Virginia has marked this important milestone with an annual written proclamation. We need to do much more than that. Today, I announced that Juneteenth will be a paid state holiday in our Commonwealth this year, and I will work with the General Assembly to make this permanent. — PolitiTweet.org
