the president calling out the gop for its full-scale assault on the right to vote. saying voting is a key part of fulfilling the promise of equality for all americans. it s not going to be fulfilled, so long as the sacred right to vote remains under attack. so, we need to keep fighting for the right to vote for all americans. and yet, america took a giant step forward, today, in recognizing a part of our history that we, all, wish didn t happen. but it did. and now, we re officially commemorating the end of that dark history. the end of slavery. so, i ll start, where i began. there was a time when someone, like me, could not sit in this chair. would not be welcomed into the homes of people all across america. and i know, you know, i sit here every night and i talk to you
and it, all, could have been avoided if trump only said, after the election, what he, finally, said to sean hannity last night. we were supposed to win, easily, at 64 million votes and we got 75 million votes. and we didn t win. we didn t win. we didn t win. did you hear him? we didn t win. yeah. no kidding. you did not win. he knows it. he s always known it. his supporters in congress have always known it, too. but instead of saying, then, what he says now, trump spawned deadly violence at the capitol. and republicans are trying to whitewash it. just like they are, still, trying to whitewash race ipzm in america s past. trying to block teaching america s school kids about the history of racism in this country and the impact on our country. railing against it, calling it anti-american. the biden administration has, also, issued regulations to
indoctrinate america s school children with poisonous and divisive left-wing doctrines such as critical-race theory and exact opposite of the american belief that we all are created equal, in the holy image of god. it s not going to be allowed in florida classrooms. spending tax dollars to teach kids that america is a rotten place is, absolutely, unacceptable. the critical-race theory, 1619. this is a project that is destroying our country. it s by the way, let s just be clear about this. critical-race theory. that term, right? that is the new boogieman, for the right. there s always got to be a boogieman. it was acorn. remember that for a while? acorn, acorn. the new, black panthers. the new, black panthers. and then, it was oh, antifa, antifa, antifa. whether it s barack obama or hillary clinton, whatever, it s

psalm tells us. weapon weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning. juneteenth marks, both, the long, hard night of slavery, of subjugation, and a promise to come. this is a day of in my view profound weight and profound power. a day in which we remember the moral stain, the terrible toll, that slavery took on the country, and continues to take. what i ve long called america s original sin. also, momentous. vice president kamala harris, the first-black american to hold that office, witnessing and participating in the historic event. throughout history, juneteenth has been known by many names. jubilee day. freedom day.
