                         CELEBRATING JUNETEENTH

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, Juneteenth, also known as 
Freedom Day, is more than just a historical marker. It is a cause for 
celebration.
  Eastern North Carolinians of all ages came together from across the 
district to celebrate. We had a tremendous time watching talented local 
artists showcase their skills. Events were filled with vibrant art and 
music. There was food, vendors, and parades.
  We had a fantastic time honoring history and coming together as a 
community. The sight of so many young people engaging was truly 
inspiring. I was thrilled to join so many constituents to celebrate 
this historic and powerful day of freedom.
