U.S. Sen. John Cornyn will file bill to make Juneteenth a federal holiday

 Soon all vestiges of the The Confederate  Rebellion will be demonized by all politicians and  if they want to get reelected in Texas.White politicians here are going to cater to black history all they can to stay in power. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz are on the way out here in Texas if I was to bet on it. Harris county lost all its republican judges's year before last.

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn on Thursday afternoon announced that he will introduce bipartisan legislation to make Juneteenth a federal holiday.

“As we do every year, tomorrow Texans will celebrate Juneteenth and the 155th anniversary of the end of slavery in our state,” the state’s senior senator said in a floor speech Thursday.

Cornyn is not the first Texas lawmaker to take similar steps toward celebrating Juneteenth — a day commemorating the emancipation of slaves in Texas on June 19, 1865. On Monday, U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Houston, introduced a resolution aiming to recognize the historical significance of the holiday.
