A bill signed into law by Governor. Minnesota will make Juneteeth a state holiday. Tim Walz will be speaking Friday at a state that makes it illegal to discriminate based on hair texture and style.
Minnesota was made 26th to celebrate June 19, by the Democratic governor. It’s the date in 1865 viewed as the final abolition of slavery in the U.S. even though it came two years after President Abraham Lincoln’s 1863 Emancipation Proclamation. It was made a federal holiday by the Federal Government in 2021.
