On that day in 1865, the last group of enslaved people in Texas learned they were finally free, marking the end of slavery in the South. Unfortunately, this important moment in our history is often not taught or treated with the reverence and appreciation it so rightfully deserves. I was proud to join the Las Vegas NAACP in recognition of this important date. I was also proud to co-sponsor bipartisan legislation, which has recently been signed into law, establishing Juneteenth as a Federal holiday.
