Arizona Republic reporters read the 14th Amendment

On June 19th, 2022, President Joe Biden, by executive order, made
this day a federal holiday. Juneteenth, as it’s commonly called,
marks the day when U.S. troops entered Galveston, Texas in 1865 to
free people who were still suffering enslavement. This is despite
the fact that slavery had officially ended two and a half years
prior. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black
people in the state, were free by executive decree. 
Juneteenth is considered America's second independence day. 
In honor of that, we here on The Gaggle present to you a reading of
the 14th Amendment. This amendment grants citizenship to all
persons either born or naturalized in the United States, including
formerly enslaved people. The amendment also provides equal
protection under law.  Here to read the Amendment are staff
and reporters of The Arizona Republic. Learn more about your ad
