It's been three years since Juneteenth was made a federal holiday.
President Joe Biden since the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law, establishing Juneteenth as a federal holiday, on June 17th, 2021.
96-year-old Opal Lee, a former teacher and activist, is known as the Grandmother of Juneteenth for her major role in making the holiday a federal one.
She walked from her home in Fort Worth, Texas to Washington, D.C. to call on lawmakers to make the declaration.
She made her way back to Milwaukee last year and said there is still work to be done.
"There's so many things that still need to be done," she says. "We have got to get rid of the homelessness and the joblessness and healthcare that some of us can get and others can't."

Yes, black community need to get fathers back in the home and be responsible for your offspring. Lots and lots of work needs to be done.
