“We wanna make sure that we continue the history, uh, the legacy, passing the information down because as you said, many don’t know, you know what Juneteenth is and I’m happy to,” she said. “See that it’s not only being acknowledged in Texas since that was a Texas, you know, information, but across the nation.”<\/p>\n
