Video: Celebrating Juneteenth With A Good Friend



Published on Jun 19, 2019
I'm proud to celebrate #Juneteenth with Mr. Danny Glover. This year's holiday takes on special significance because of today's House hearing on H.R. 40 to study the impacts of slavery. We must come to terms with slavery's horrors and how they affect every aspect of our lives today.

Juneteenth Should Be a National Holiday



Published on Jun 19, 2019
Understanding the legacy of slavery, the horrors of slavery, the millions of people who died as a result of slavery, is something the federal government should acknowledge. We should make Juneteenth a national holiday.

New York Times Interactive: 18 Questions. 21 Democrats. Here's What They Said.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/us/politics/2020-candidate-interviews.html

ABOUT THE PROJECT
The New York Times reached out to 22 Democratic presidential candidates to ask them the same set of questions on video. Twenty-one accepted the invitation.

Joseph R. Biden Jr. declined to participate despite repeated requests since late April.

Most of the candidates visited the studio in our New York City office; for a few who could not, we traveled to Iowa, Texas and Washington, D.C. The sessions took place between the beginning of March and early June. During the interviews, we asked candidates to answer each question briefly — with a simple yes or no, or another terse, direct reply — before explaining their views at greater length.

One candidate, Elizabeth Warren, who was the first to be interviewed, returned for a second session after we added a number of questions to our initial list. We did not ask John Hickenlooper when his family first arrived in the United States because we added that question after his interview.

In the case of one question — regarding President Trump’s legal issues — the candidates answered at different points during the completion of the investigation by Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III, so their answers reflected the facts available to them at the time.
