                       JUNETEENTH ACROSS THE EAST

  (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. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize 
Juneteenth and the communities across eastern North Carolina who 
celebrated with joy, unity, and meaningful reflection.
  From Wilson to Columbia and Goldsboro to Rocky Mount, there was 
wonderful dancing with Boots on the Ground and plenty of delicious food 
and spirited singing. Residents came together as a community to 
celebrate freedom, an American value.
  I thank every organizer and volunteer who helped make these events 
possible. I also thank all who participated and especially our youth.
  Mr. Speaker, we were able to honor the past and renew our commitment 
to a more prosperous future.
