VP Kamala Harris Roundup - Joyful warrior [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-06-18 Monday (Jun 10) VP Kamala Harris delivered remarks at the Whie House Juneteenth Concert. Some excerpts from her speech: And today, as we celebrate Juneteenth, together we are reminded of the promise of America: a promise of freedom, liberty and opportunity not for some but for all. Across our nation, we witness a full-on attack on hard-fought, hard-won freedoms and rights, including the freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body - (applause); the freedom to be who you are and love who you love openly and with pride — (applause); the freedom from fear of bigotry and hate; the freedom to learn and acknowledge our nation’s true and full history; and the freedom that unlocks all others: the freedom to vote. (Applause.) Through the struggles and successes of our history, Black artists like these have put song to our nation’s fight for freedom. Through spirituals, blues, and gospel, through jazz, soul and hip-hop, artists give voice to the joy and hope, ambition and aspiration, courage and conviction of the people of our nation.
