my reaction was like, omg. i am so excited that it is officially now a national holiday. and we worked hard to push for it. we was going around telling people to sign petitions. even when i was hanging out with friends, i said, hey, you know, sign the petition. let s make it a national holiday. it s okay, you re just putting your name. now that the hard work has paid off, i m so blessed and honored to be part of this history of making juneteenth day a national holiday. why did you want to be a part of the juneteenth pageant? i wanted to be a part of it because i wanted to learn more about my history and my culture because when i first started the pageant, i actually didn t know what juneteenth was, and i never heard of juneteenth or anything. so when i first joined the delaware pageant, i wanted to continue to learn more and the
holiday, cities all over the country are marking the day with parades, performances, and in a growing number of places, pageants. while beauty pageants have long faced criticism, organizers say the juneteenth pageants are less about looks but more about teaching them the history they don t flern school. we heard from the national miss juneteenth. here s what she said about her experience. the juneteenth pageant is not just about beauty. it s about the needs that you re going to need in life about your etiquette, how you speak, just being part of the pageant, you re part of something that s historical and you re starting in something that you will use and you will need for the rest of your life. with me now, adrian sledge, director and chairperson of the miss juneteenth pageant in fort worth, texas. great to see you. we ve seen so many other high-profile national pageants.
welcome back. something to celebrate. juneteenth carries an even more poignant meaning today as it s recognized as a federal holiday but even without national recognition an annual pageant promoted the holiday and empower young, black women. the juneteenth pageant is more than a pageant. it is a program that is going to institute truth and history of where these girls have come from and knowing why all of the history matters. good evening, ladies and gentlemen. i m here representing texas. it s literally like watching the met mor that sis of a butterfly taking the ladies on. at the end of the process, they come out extremely self assured, empowered, ready to take on the world. i didn t really feel
very sick and having to take care of them from that, and not having the opportunity to have all of the staff around you speak your primary language. and so that s where my spanish skills came into play there. one of the reasons why i got into medicine is to be able to be that representation, especially for pediatric patients, because i want them to see people like them in positions that they can attain one day. emma, dr. ulloa, thank you. life on the line: young doctors come of age in a pandemic. the juneteenth pageant is a texas tradition. the fort worth festival explains why it means so much. later, gridlock in washington. the real effect on a generation of dreamers nine years after daca. what can be done? every curve, every innovation, every feeling. a product of mastery. get 0.9% apr financing on the 2021 es 350.
