Juneteenth National Holiday

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or holiday:

    In really hard times the rules of the game are altered. The inchoate mass begins to stir. It becomes potent, and when it strikes,... it strikes with incredible emphasis. Those are the rare occasions when a national will emerges from the scattered, specialized, or indifferent blocs of voters who ordinarily elect the politicians. Those are for good or evil the great occasions in a nation’s history.
    Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    Come, woo me, woo me; for now I am in a holiday humor, and
    like enough to consent.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
