In a surprising act of racial unity, even heavenly grace, a politically divided Congress passed recognition of Juneteenth as a federal holiday this week. The vote was by unanimous consent in the Senate on Tuesday and it was 415-14 on Wednesday in the House. President Biden is expected to sign the bill on Thursday. "The freedom of all Americans that Texas celebrates every Juneteenth should be celebrated all across the nation," Sen. John Cornyn said in his statement. The last time Congress approved a new holiday was 1983. That holiday was the much more controversial Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
