15:02Now PlayingToday President Joe Biden signed legislation that would make Juneteenth a federal holiday. It commemorates the day slaves in the Confederate state of Texas learned they were free on June 19, 1865. The Juneteenth National Independence Day Act will have an immediate impact on thousands of federal workers. Since Juneteenth is this Saturday, the federal holiday will be observed tomorrow. The decision has been a huge topic of debate. Monique Pressley, an attorney and legal analyst, and Bari Williams, a consultant focused on diversity, equity and inclusion, join "Making the Case w/Yodit" to discuss Juneteenth becoming a federal holiday.
