President Joe Biden delivered a powerful speech denouncing racism in the United States during the White House’s first major Juneteenth celebration on Tuesday.
The Biden-Harris administration hosted a Juneteenth concert featuring renowned singers Jennifer Hudson, Audra McDonald, and Ledisi, aiming to highlight American values Biden said he believes are under threat.
He stated, “As the past few years remind us, our freedoms have been put at risk by racism, that’s still too powerful a force. Hate only hides… And when given oxygen, just a little oxygen, it comes roaring back out again, and we have to stand up and deny it the oxygen.Juneteenth, a combination of June and June 19, is called Emancipation Day.
Lee urged the audience to be catalysts for change, saying, “Make yourself a committee of one to change somebody’s mind. If people can be taught to hate, they can be taught to love.”
