Joseph Biden actually said...

"I have to say to you, I’ve only been president for several months. But I think this will go down, for me, one of the greatest honors I will have had as president, not because I did it, you did it."

"Juneteenth, marks both long, hard night of slavery and subjugation and a promise of a brighter morning to come."

"By making Juneteenth a federal holiday, all Americans can feel the power of this day and learn from our history."

"We’re blessed to mark the day in the presence of Miss Opal Lee."
