He has not finished his work. for he continues to promote the Juneteenth Commission. and I am very proud that on Monday morning. we opened and christened the first Juneteenth statute In the State of Texas. This holiday. however. is spreading across the country as a symbol of freedom. Tomorrow we will have the opportunity. as we have had today. to acknowledge the that people are still struggling for freedom by World Refugee Day. but tomorrow this body will have the opportunity to reauthorize the Voting Rights Act of 1965. now in 2006. now named the Fannie Lou Hammer. Rosa Parks. and Coretta Scott King Voting Rights Act. I ask my colleagues in the name of Juneteenth and many other symbolic holidays that establish and create freedom. that we should stand tall for the reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act.
