Pharrell showed up at a press conference in his home state, Virginia, yesterday to officially announce Juneteenth as a paid state holiday.
With P by his side, Governor Ralph Northam spoke about the significance of June 19th, and said the holiday matters because it says to the Black community, this is not just your history, this is everyone’s shared history, and we recognize it together…
