The first 5 DTs selected in the 2019 NFL Draft were:
No. 3: Quinnen Williams
No. 9: Ed Oliver
No. 13: Christian Wilkins
No. 17: Dexter Lawrence
No. 19: Jeffery Simmons
That’s one heck of a DT draft class.
Obama teared up during Michelle Obama's speech at Obama Presidential Center:
“You told me all those years ago that you couldn't promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life, & of course you outdid yourself & managed to give me both.”
"Juneteenth is a very important day and it's awesome that more people are learning about it..
Today is a great day and it's a celebration"

On June 19, 1865, African American communities in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their freedom from slavery — two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation took effect.
For 161 years, Juneteenth has been a day of remembrance for the freedom that was delayed. It is also a celebration of the joy and resilience that flourished despite that delay.
The contributions of African Americans, whose struggle for freedom shaped our nation, are immeasurable. Yet too many Black families continue to bear the brunt of an affordability crisis that has pushed them out of the neighborhoods and communities they've built.
True freedom has a tangible impact on daily life: the ability to afford housing, earn a living wage, put food on the table, support a family, and create a future for generations to come.
As we celebrate today, we must recommit ourselves to ensuring this freedom is fully realized.
Happy Juneteenth, New York City.
