Progress and setbacks 140 years after the original Juneteenth

Progress and setbacks 140 years after the original Juneteenth: "It has taken decades for the U.S. Senate to come to its moral senses on the issue of lynching.

When it did, it was a mixed blessing: All but 14 of the 100 senators signed their names to a resolution apologizing for the domestic terrorism that took thousands of American lives, most of them black. The state that prides itself on being bigger and better in all things was shown to be very small on conscience: Neither of Texas' senators ��� Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn ��� signed the resolution.

They should have. And the vote have been unanimous."
