I rise to recognize Juneteenth and the communities across eastern North Carolina who celebrated with joy, unity, and meaningful reflection. From Wilson to Columbia and Goldsboro to Rocky Mount, there was wonderful dancing with Boots on the Ground and plenty of delicious food and spirited singing. Residents came together as a community to celebrate freedom, an American value. I thank every organizer and volunteer who helped make these events possible. I also thank all who participated and especially our youth. Mr. Speaker, we were able to honor the past and renew our commitment to a more prosperous future.
