PROVIDING FOR CONSIDERATION OF S. 475, JUNETEENTH NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE
DAY ACT
Ms. SCANLON. Mr. Speaker, by direction of the Committee on Rules, I
call up House Resolution 479 and ask for its immediate consideration.
The Clerk read the resolution, as follows:
H. Res. 479
Resolved, That upon adoption of this resolution it shall be
in order to consider in the House the bill (S. 475) to amend
title 5, United States Code, to designate Juneteenth National
Independence Day as a legal public holiday. All points of
order against consideration of the bill are waived. The bill
shall be considered as read. All points of order against
provisions in the bill are waived. The previous question
shall be considered as ordered on the bill and on any
amendment thereto to final passage without intervening motion
except: (1) one hour of debate equally divided and controlled
by the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on
Oversight and Reform or their respective designees; and (2)
one motion to commit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Pennsylvania is
recognized for 1 hour.
Ms. SCANLON. Mr. Speaker, for the purpose of debate only, I yield the
customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr.
Reschenthaler), pending which I yield myself such time as I may
consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time is yielded
for the purpose of debate only.
General Leave
Ms. SCANLON. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members be
given 5 legislative days to revise and extend their remarks.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentlewoman from Pennsylvania?
There was no objection.
Ms. SCANLON. Mr. Speaker, today, the Committee on Rules met and
reported a rule, House Resolution 479, providing for consideration of
S. 475, the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act, under a closed
rule.
The rule provides 1 hour of debate equally divided and controlled by
the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on Oversight and
Reform and one motion to recommit.
Mr. Speaker, we are here today to consider an important and timely
bill, S. 475, which parallels H.R. 1320 introduced by our colleague,
Sheila Jackson Lee from Texas. This bill would make Juneteenth a
Federal holiday.
We are happy and not a little surprised to see that the Senate was
able to quickly pass this bill with unanimous consent. It is not every
day that one sees the Senate move more quickly than the House, and it
is my hope that today the House of Representatives would be able to act
with similar swiftness.
Juneteenth, a portmanteau of June 19th, celebrates a seminal moment
in Black American history, and it is well past time that our country
recognizes the importance of this day by making it a Federal holiday.
While the Emancipation Proclamation outlawed slavery in the South,
and the Civil War effectively ended with the surrender of the
Confederacy in April of 1865 at Appomattox, slavery did not immediately
end throughout the United States.
During the Civil War, many slaveholders migrated to Texas to avoid
conflict and continued to hold Black Americans in bondage after the
formal end of the Civil War.
On June 19, 1865, Union troops finally arrived in Galveston Bay,
Texas, to ensure that slaves were freed, a full 2\1/2\
[[Page H2856]]
years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed by President
Lincoln.
On that date, Major General Gordon Granger issued General Order No.
3, which announced that, in accordance with the Emancipation
Proclamation, all slaves are free.
In the years following, Black Texans began to celebrate Juneteenth,
also known as Emancipation Day, Jubilee Day, and Juneteenth
Independence Day. Over time, they developed time-honored traditions for
celebration, including parades, cookouts, family reunions, prayer
gatherings, historic and cultural readings, and musical performances.
As Texans emigrated to other parts of the United States, those
traditions came with them and became enshrined in Black communities
across our country.
Today, Juneteenth is celebrated by communities throughout the United
States. Forty-eight States and the District of Columbia recognize
Juneteenth. It is time for the Federal Government to do the same.
My own district in southeastern Pennsylvania takes great pride in its
Juneteenth celebrations. From parades and flag raisings and picnics to
musical performances and community gatherings, our community will
celebrate at dozens of events throughout the district this weekend.
On a planning call this week for one of our local celebrations, a
resident from the Eastwick neighborhood in southwest Philadelphia
proclaimed that ``Juneteenth is the holy grail'' of celebrations for
the community because it represents America's true day of freedom.
Upon hearing the news that this bill would come up for passage today,
one of my staffers said: ``As an African-American woman raising five
beautiful children, it would mean so much to make Juneteenth a Federal
holiday. . . . It allows people to reflect on what my ancestors had to
deal with. It gives the history of how they fought and continued to
fight as they passed the torch on to the next generation.''
Another community member just shared: ``I hope this provides an
accessible, teachable moment so people across the country can talk with
their neighbors about why we need this holiday and how it helps to
address the erasure of Black contributions to humanity and history.''
I know that this move to make Juneteenth a Federal holiday will mean
so much to members of the Black community in my district, and I am so
excited to have the great honor of returning home to celebrate this
weekend after we pass this bill.
Juneteenth, like many of our other Federal celebrations, serves as a
day of remembrance and reflection and a celebration of emancipation and
freedom.
So, as we consider the rule today, and as we approach this year's
Juneteenth celebrations, I ask my colleagues in this Chamber to think
and reflect on our Nation's complicated history, the events that led us
to where we are, and what we need to do to reckon with our past and
continue to work toward creating a more equitable and inclusive
society.
America has historically failed to fully address the horrors of the
abuse wrought upon enslaved people during the early years of our
country, and to this day, we live with the long-term effects and
consequences of slavery in America.
Racism, both interpersonal and institutional, continues to plague our
country. And despite monumental efforts, from the Civil War to the
civil rights movement and beyond, to get our Nation to live up to the
ideals proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence, Black Americans
still face disparate treatment and disparate outcomes across our
society, from housing and healthcare to education and the workplace.
To move forward with the work of dismantling institutional racism
that continues to disenfranchise Black Americans, it is essential that
we start by looking critically at how we get here.
If we all truly commit ourselves to striving toward a more perfect
Union, where all people are not only legally equal but actually have a
fair shot at achieving the American Dream, we must recognize our
current failings and take the necessary steps to end racial
discrimination, the racial wealth gap, and racial injustices in our
social, economic, environmental, and judicial institutions.
While some may feel that making Juneteenth a Federal holiday is a
purely symbolic act, symbols hold power. Holidays hold power.
While millions of Americans already celebrate Juneteenth and use the
day to reflect on our collective past and future, this is an important
step to formally commemorate a crucial part of our culture and history
that for too long has been canceled.
I look forward to working with my colleagues on other meaningful
steps we can take to honor the legacy of enslaved people who
contributed so much to our history and to address the lasting impacts
of this cruel chapter in our history that still persist today.
Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. RESCHENTHALER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the distinguished gentlewoman
from Pennsylvania (Ms. Scanlon) for yielding me the customary 30
minutes, and I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Mr. Speaker, the rule before us today provides for consideration of
S. 475, a bipartisan bill establishing a national holiday on June 19,
known as Juneteenth National Independence Day. The June 19th date marks
the date that Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas,
and announced the end of slavery and the Civil War.
I am honored to stand here with my colleague from Pennsylvania as the
Battle of Gettysburg, of course, took place in Pennsylvania, involving
the largest number of Civil War casualties, and marked the turning
point of the war.
In fact, Mr. Speaker, the Keystone State played a crucial part in the
Civil War. My State provided over 350,000 soldiers and sailors, more
than any other Northern State except New York. Pennsylvania also served
as a vital resource for military equipment and food for the Union Army.
As I already mentioned, the Commonwealth was the site of the world's
largest battle, that of Gettysburg.
So, it probably comes as no surprise that Pennsylvania already
recognizes Juneteenth. In fact, since 1980, 47 States, including, as I
said, my home State of Pennsylvania, as well as the District of
Columbia, have issued legislation recognizing Juneteenth as a holiday
or as a day of observance.
Designating June 19 as a national holiday would increase awareness
and education on Juneteenth; it would celebrate Black history and
culture; and it would recognize the Americans who fought and died to
end slavery.
Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. SCANLON. Mr. Speaker, I now recognize my distinguished colleague,
the chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland
Security in the House Committee on the Judiciary. Representative Sheila
Jackson Lee is a tremendous advocate and leader in the fight for racial
equity and an inspiration to many of our colleagues, including myself.
Coming from the great State of Texas, she is all too familiar with the
history and importance of Juneteenth for African Americans and for all
Americans to recognize and reconcile our history.
In Congress' past, Representative Jackson Lee led the charge to
recognize Juneteenth as a national holiday by introducing legislation
to federally recognize this historic day. In the 117th Congress, she,
again, introduced H.R. 1320, which I understand formed the basis for
the Senate bill.
Through the tireless work of her and her Senate colleagues, we now
have the privilege of voting on this historic legislation. I applaud
the tremendous work of the distinguished gentlewoman from Texas.
Mr. Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms.
Jackson Lee).
Ms. JACKSON LEE. How humbled I am to be on the floor of the House
with fellow Americans who can speak eloquently about the history that
is so deeply seated in my history and the history of so many Americans.
How honored I am, Congresswoman Scanlon, that you come from the great
State of Pennsylvania that has a storied history. For some of us, we
remember Gettysburg, but there are many other aspects, which I have had
the privilege of visiting.
[[Page H2857]]
I always say to America: Learn America. It is a beautiful place, but
it is a historic place.
To my friend from Pennsylvania, the manager and Rules Committee
member, how honored I am to have you, a fellow Pennsylvanian, in terms
of the minority's manager, on the floor today. You know full well the
fight of the Union soldiers, and I am sure that you have in your
constituency or in the State descendants of those fights.
Mr. Speaker, I can stand here today to say, with Senator Markey,
Senator Cornyn, Senator Smith, and my colleague of long-suffering,
Danny Davis, who began this journey with me, the act or the thought of
racial divide crushes to the floor on this bright and sunny day as we
bring from the Senate the legislation that I offered, H.R. 1320, in the
form of S. 475, the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act, companion
legislation to H.R. 1320 in the House.
The House was the leader, although I am always glad to embrace the
dynamic leadership of the Senate. We have over 160 more sponsors
coming, bipartisan sponsors.
My good friend and colleague from Texas, Randy Weber, actually
represents Galveston, and I want to share his name on the floor.
{time} 1445
But I introduce this to make Juneteenth a Federal holiday to
commemorate the end of chattel slavery, America's original sin, and to
bring about celebration, crushing racial divide down to a point of
unity to this Earth, and it is because of the perseverance, the
strength of our mutual communities, African Americans that struggle for
equality.
Now, I would be remiss if I did not at least appoint that slavery was
real. These are the brutal backs upon which the whip went over and over
and over again, not only men, women, children, possibly, as history
recounts.
The history is limited because it is slave narrative, that I might
very humbly and respectfully say, those stories are in broken English.
But I remember one where a woman slave said to a husband that had been
either taken away or had been a freed slave to another plantation; she
said, Husband, come back, come back, they are about to sell me and your
children to different places. That is what this moment in time in
history represents for us.
But look where we are today. Look where we are. In the midst of what
people have described as racial divide, we have now come to a place
where we acknowledge the 47 States that have done a celebratory,
unified, and multicultural celebration of Juneteenth. Let me tell you
why, just for a moment.
Juneteenth is as significant to African Americans as it will be to
Americans because we, too, are Americans, and it means freedom.
Juneteenth. On June 19, 1865, General Granger found himself on the
shores of Galveston--Senator Cornyn and myself will be in Galveston
this very Juneteenth. How coincidental. Can you imagine, how short I
am, I will be standing maybe taller than Senator Cornyn, forgive me for
that, because it will be such an elevation of joy, but we will be there
for a historic celebration.
But Juneteenth came in June of 1865, and shortly thereafter, in the
next few months, the 13th Amendment declared slavery unconstitutional
in the United States. I think it is important to read these words.
These are the words of General Granger, coming all the way from
Washington, D.C., of General Order No. 3.
You know, we like legislation, but I will tell you, can you imagine
all of the slaves who were not free 2 extra years? They gathered
around, they knew something was happening. There was no telegram and
there was no cyber, there was no email or tweets.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
Ms. SCANLON. Mr. Speaker, I yield an additional 1 minute to the
gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Jackson Lee).
Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, the people of Texas are informed that,
in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United
States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of
rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and
the connection therefore existing between them becomes that of employer
and hired labor. It is a day of freedom.
Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the Rules Committee, Chairman McGovern,
and Ranking Member Cole. I want to thank them for their commitment in
bringing this to us. I want to thank Majority Leader Hoyer, Speaker
Pelosi, the whip, Mr. Clyburn, the chairman, Mr. Jeffries, and all of
the leadership on both sides of the aisle that have brought us to this
point.
Mr. Speaker, as a senior member of the House Judiciary Committee, the
Chair of the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security,
and the principal sponsor in the House of the Juneteenth National
Independence Day Act, I rise in strong and enthusiastic support of the
Rule and the underlying legislation, S. 475, the Senate companion to
the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act, which establishes June 19
as a federal holiday.
I applaud the U.S. Senate for passing S. 475, Juneteenth National
Independence Day Act, companion legislation to H.R. 1320, which I
introduced to make Juneteenth a federal holiday to commemorate the end
of chattel slavery, America's Original Sin, and to celebrate the
perseverance that has been the hallmark of the African American
struggle for equality.
I thank Senator Markey of Massachusetts, my senior senator, Senator
John Cornyn of Texas, and others who spearheaded this effort in the
Senate, and Senate Majority Leader Schumer for his support and for
using his legislative skills to ensure the bill was voted on and
passed.
Mr. Speaker, now it is time for the House of Representatives to act
swiftly and bring to the floor, vote on, pass the Juneteenth National
Independence Day Act, and send it to the desk of President Biden for
signature.
With the President's signature, the federal government will join 47
states in recognizing as a holiday Juneteenth, the day that has been
celebrated by African Americans for 156 years and has been called
rightly as 'America's second Independence Day.'
Let me extend on behalf of all of us who have labored to pass this
important legislation our deep appreciation to the House leadership,
particularly Majority Leader Hoyer, for their support which paved the
way for the House last year to pass by unanimous consent H. Res. 1001,
the resolution I introduced recognizing Juneteenth Independence Day.
As I have said many times, Juneteenth is as significant to African
Americans as July 4 is to all Americans because on that day, June 19,
155 years ago, General Gordon Granger, the Commanding Officer of the
District of Texas, rode into Galveston, Texas and announced the freedom
of the last American slaves; belatedly freeing 250,000 slaves in Texas
nearly two and a half years after Abraham Lincoln signed the
Emancipation Proclamation.
When General Granger read these words of General Order No. 3 set off
joyous celebrations of the freedmen and women of Texas:
``The people of Texas are informed that in accordance with a
Proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are
free. This involves an absolute equality of rights and rights of
property between former masters and slaves, and the connection
therefore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired
laborer.''
Juneteenth thus made real to the last persons living under the system
of chattel slavery, of human bondage, the prophetic words of President
Abraham Lincoln delivered November 19, 1863, at Gettysburg ``that this
nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom--and that
government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not
perish from the earth.''
Juneteenth was first celebrated in the Texas state capital in 1867
under the direction of the Freedmen's Bureau and remains the oldest
known celebration of slavery's demise, commemorating freedom while
acknowledging the sacrifices and contributions made by courageous
African Americans towards making our great nation the more conscious
and accepting country that it has become.

Americans because on that day, June 19, 155 years ago, General Gordon

Juneteenth was first celebrated in the Texas state capital in 1867

Today, Juneteenth remains the oldest known celebration of slavery's
demise. It commemorates freedom while acknowledging the sacrifices and
contributions made by courageous African Americans towards making our
great nation the more conscious and accepting country that it has
become.
As the nation prepares to celebrate July 4th, our nation's
independence day, it is a time to reflect on the accomplishments of our
nation and its people.
[[Page H2858]]
General Granger's reading of this order ended chattel slavery, a form
of perpetual servitude that held generations of Africans in bondage in
the United States for two-hundred and forty-eight years and opened a
new chapter in American history.
Recognizing the importance of this date, former slaves coined the
word ``Juneteenth'' to mark the occasion with a celebrations the first
of which occurred in the Texas state capital in 1867 under the
direction of the Freedmen's Bureau.
Juneteenth was and is a living symbol of freedom for people who did
not have it.
Juneteenth remains the oldest known celebration of slavery's demise.
It commemorates freedom while acknowledging the sacrifices and
contributions made by courageous African Americans towards making our
great nation the more conscious and accepting country that it has
become.
The celebration of Juneteenth followed the most devastating conflict
in our country's history, in the aftermath of a civil war that pitted
brother against brother, neighbor against neighbor and threatened to
tear the fabric of our union apart forever that America truly became
the land of the free and the home of the brave.
The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, ``Freedom is never
free,'' and African American labor leader A. Phillip Randolph often
said ``Freedom is never given. It is won.''
Truer words were never spoken.
We should all recognize the power and the ironic truth of those
statements, and we should pause to remember the enormous price paid by
all Americans in our country's quest to realize its promise.
Juneteenth honors the end of the 400 years of suffering African
Americans endured under slavery and celebrates the legacy of
perseverance that has become the hallmark of the African American
experience in the struggle for equality.
In recent years, a number of National Juneteenth Organizations have
arisen to take their place alongside older organizations--all with the
mission to promote and cultivate knowledge and appreciation of African
American history and culture.
Juneteenth celebrates African American freedom while encouraging
self-development and respect for all cultures.
But it must always remain a reminder to us all that liberty and
freedom are precious birthrights of all Americans, which must be
jealously guarded and preserved for future generations.
I urge all members to support the rule and the underlying
legislation.
Mr. RESCHENTHALER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my
time. I would like to thank my good friend and colleague from Texas
(Ms. Jackson Lee) for the kind words for my home State of Pennsylvania,
and for recognizing the descendants of those who fought to end slavery,
especially those in Pennsylvania.
Additionally, I would like to commend her on working on the House
companion for, from what I am understanding, years and years. So this
certainly says volumes about the work she put into the bill, and I
would just like to thank her.
Mr. Speaker, President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation
in 1863, but it took 2\1/2\ years for slaves in Texas to learn of their
freedom. S. 475 will finally designate June 19 as a national holiday
and highlight the important history and contribution of Black Americans
and those who fought and died to end slavery.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Ms. SCANLON. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. I
want to echo the remarks of my distinguished colleague, Representative
Sheila Jackson Lee, in mentioning Pennsylvania's history in this
moment. I want to highlight Philadelphia's role in our Nation's
abolitionist movement, the Quakers, Lucretia Mott, who embraced that
movement and pushed this country forward, the role of our residents in
fighting and winning the Civil War, and being the birthplace of
American ideals at Independence Hall.
Mr. Speaker, I hope that in passing this rule and the underlying bill
we will take a collective step forward in achieving those goals that
all Americans are equal under the law, treated fairly in our schools,
our workplaces, our courts, and our public institutions.
Symbols hold power. Holidays hold power. While millions of Americans
already celebrate Juneteenth and use the day to reflect on our
collective past and future, this is an important step to formally
commemorate a crucial part of our culture and history. I urge, again,
that all my colleagues vote for the rule and the underlying bill.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time, and I move the
previous question on the resolution.
The previous question was ordered.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the adoption of the
resolution.
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the ayes appeared to have it.
Mr. RESCHENTHALER. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution
8, the yeas and nays are ordered.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 214,
nays 208, not voting 8, as follows:
