Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith
An honor to share with 95-year-old Ms. Opal Lee that the bill to make Juneteenth a federal holiday passed the Senate—thanks in large part to her. Ms. Lee, whose house was burned to the ground by white supremacists at 12, spent her life as an educator and activist. A real patriot. https://t.co/yqdY957cE7 — PolitiTweet.org
