Recognizing June 19, 2025, As "juneteenth National Independence Day" In The State Of Delaware.

This bill recognizes June 19, 2025, as 'Juneteenth National Independence Day' in Delaware. It aims to commemorate the end of slavery in the United States and celebrate African American history and culture. The recognition of this day is intended to promote awareness and education about the significance of Juneteenth.

Supporters of the bill would highlight its importance in acknowledging and honoring the struggles and contributions of African Americans throughout history.
