Photos have been released from the White House’s East Room, where President Joe Biden signed a bill to make Juneteenth an official federal holiday.
For those who still don’t know, June 19 is the date when slavery truly came to an end in the United States. On that date in 1865, slaves in Texas were finally informed that they had freedom, years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed by Abraham Lincoln.
Biden was joined by Vice President Kamala Harris and other politicians to sign the bill on Thursday afternoon (June 17) at the White House in Washington, D.C.
Also in attendance were singer Usher and 94-year-old activist Opal Lee, who is known as the “Grandmother of Juneteenth.”
“It’s really humbling,” Lee told Variety. “I’m overwhelmed at the people who didn’t know about Juneteenth and it’s just coming to their attention.”

On Wednesday evening (April 28), President Joe Biden gave his first address to Congress to mark his first 100 days in office as President of the United States.
As President Biden took to the podium, he started off his address by pointing out the historic moment the session held.
Sitting behind him on the dais was Vice President Kamala Harris and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. This was the first time in U.S. history that two women sat behind the President during an address to Congress.
“Madam Speaker, Madam Vice President. No president has ever said those words from this podium. And it’s about time!” President Biden exclaimed as the room erupted in applause.
VP Harris and Speaker Pelosi celebrated the moment by bumping elbows and applauding each other.
Speaker Pelosi made history back in 2007 when she became the first woman to serve as Speaker of the House. Last November, VP Harris made history becoming the first woman and first person of color to be elected Vice President.
If you missed it, VP Harris will be the first Vice President to receive this very special honor.
FYI: Vice President Harris is wearing a Prabal Gurung outfit.
Applause rings out as Pres. Biden addresses "Madam Vice President."

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are addressing the nation.
The President and the Vice President gave a speech on Tuesday night (April 20) following the guilty verdict given to Derek Chauvin in the murder of George Floyd.
“Today we feel a sigh of relief, still, it cannot take away the pain. A measure of justice isn’t the same as equal justice. This verdict brings us a step closer, and the fact is, we still have work to do. We still must reform the system,” the Vice President said.
“Black men, in particular, have been treated throughout the course of our history as less than human…their lives must be valued in our education system, in our healthcare system, in our housing system, in our economic system, in our criminal justice system, in our nation. Full stop,” she continued.
