Activists on Juneteenth holiday: 'It's hard for me to celebrate'

KCRA - Sacramento Videos

Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a proclamation declaring June 19, 2021, as "Juneteenth National Freedom Day: A Day of Observance" in the state of California. It comes a day after President Joe Biden signed legislation making Juneteenth a federal holiday. While many are marking the day with celebrations, activists are concerned about legislation for a new holiday that marks the end of slavery -- that doesn't come with reparations for descendants of slaves. See more in the video above.
