As a descendent of enslaved people from the South, my journey to help pass the Juneteenth Package of Bills has been deeply personal.
This journey seeks to honor the history of our collective ancestors and ensure that the brutal harms they endured are no longer ignored but are confronted head-on with meaningful action. As Chair of the Civil and Human Rights Committee, I’ve had the privilege of overseeing pivotal discussions on these bills, which speak to the heart of our nation’s complex history.
