6:39Now PlayingAlabama's proposed House Bill 4 is getting mixed reactions.
If signed into law, Juneteenth celebrated on June 19, would become a state holiday. But state employees could choose between recognizing Juneteenth or the birthday of the president of the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis, on June 3.
Juneteenth celebrates the end of slavery in the United States. Jefferson Davis Day in June honors his legacy as president of the Confederacy.
Some see this bill as a compromise, a way to give people a choice and make Juneteenth more acceptable.
