For activist Opal Lee, it was a lifelong mission—five years ago, she walked from Fort Worth, Texas, to Washington, D.C., to urge lawmakers to make it happen.
对活动人士奥帕尔·李来说，这是一项终生的使命，五年前，她从得克萨斯州的沃思堡赶到华盛顿特区，敦促议员们实现这一使命。
While the majority of U.S. states recognize Juneteenth as a holiday and most hold celebrations, a national holiday was something 94-year-old Lee didn't think she'd live to see.
虽然美国大多数州都承认六月节是一个节日，而且大多数州都会举行庆祝活动，但是94岁的李女士认为她不会活着看到六月节成为国家法定节日。
"I've got so many different feelings all gurgling up in here," Lee told CBS DFW. "I don't know what to call them all.
李告诉CBS DFW，“我现在有千万种复杂情绪在心里翻涌，我不知道怎么称呼所有的感觉。
I am so delighted to know that suddenly we've got a Juneteenth. It's not a Texas thing or a Black thing. It's an American thing."
得知我们突然迎来了六月节，我很高兴。这不是德州的事，也不是黑人的事。这是美国的事。”
The effort to designate Juneteenth as a federal holiday gained renewed attention amid a national reckoning on race after widespread protests against racial injustice were triggered by the police killings of George Floyd and other Black people in the summer of 2020.
