Here's the Scoop · “America is a work in progress” — Sen. Raphael Warnock on Juneteenth, Faith and Politics · 19 Jun 2026 podcast

Those who are awaiting freedom on Juneteenth, they finally heard the good news of the Emancipation Proclamation some two years later.

Freedom had already been put on paper, but it took a while for it to get to them.

And that is a wonderful metaphor for the American story.

We have these grand charter documents.

Dr. King called the Declaration of Independence sublime words of cosmic proportion.

But they were written by Thomas Jefferson, a slaveholder.

But over time, through diverse voices at the table,

We've come to understand what freedom looks like.

Women had to come to the table and said, well, is the American promise also for us?

And they stood up in the suffrage movement.

And we're a stronger democracy as a result of that.

And so Juneteenth gives me hope.

It causes me to take the long view and to recognize that, yeah, our country goes through moments where the democracy expands and it goes through moments when it contracts.

This is a contraction moment.

But every woman who's given birth will tell you that contractions are necessary for new birth.

I still have a great deal of hope in this country and what we will build together.

They're painful, but they give birth to the promise.

Yes.

Thank you.

Keep the faith.
