was obsessed with robots, hence the dances. >> jimmy: mm-hm. >> of that time. and i, i doesnn't know. i loved the color yellow, y yely aboyou, but i can't tell you i knew what i wanted to do. >> jimmy: you returned to your home state, virginia, and you petitioned the governor to make juneteenth an official state holiday, and they actually are making it an official state holiday. well, hopefully they're doing it this year, right? >> yes, sir. and i mean, to be, to be clear, i called them over the weekend. >> jimmy: mm-hm. >> because obviously, people are rightfully protesting. americans are protesting in the streets. fresh in the middle of a plague. some people are calling it a pandemic. but let's just be clear.

i, you know, people are dying in ten days. when they catch it. but there's just so much going on, and with what happened with george floyd and so many others, and such a short amount of time, in this short window while this is going on. i think people are in the streets, and it's just, man, we've just, we've all just had enough as americans, not just as us black americans, but our allies and advocates, they've had enough. and i think it's high time that if we're going to think about what independence and what freedom really looks like, we never really, ours was never really acknowledged. yeah, there's 47 states that observe it, but man, that's not a paid holiday. we deserve a paid holiday. so i called them, and i just said man, i feel like this is important for not only your own legacy but the legacy of virginia. and f yif you would be willing

officiate this and, you know, make this a paid holiday, i, you know, i will travel for the first time out of my house. my wife is not playin' no games. >> jimmy: right. >> with this covid-19. she's not playin' no games. i mean, as you know, we have 600 children. so, we can't afford to play any games, but this is serious, because this is for not only me, but this is for like my ancestors that absolutely came through on the hull of a ship, in virginia, you know, 400 years ago, over 401 years ago, and so for me, this was incredibly symbolic. >> jimmy: yeah. >> and it's necessary. >> jimmy: and your family is, has been in virginia since they came over? >> well, i actually did my episode with "finding your roots", with dr. henry louis?

>> jimmy: yeah. >> i found out, that, yes, we came through on the ships where my ancestors were enslaved, through virginia, and then we ended up in nash county, in north carolina. with a very horrific, horrific c set of details. >> jimmy: sure. maybe north carolina would be the next state that you can get on board with this. are other states considering this now and acting to make it a state holiday? >> beautifully, andrew cuomo, who's never, like, late, he's right on it. he said he would be signing an executive order. so we have new york. i'm, i'm, we're reachin' out to governor newsom. >> jimmy: in california. >> right now. yeah. i'd like to get to the governor of connecticut. we got to do this, man, it's the right thing to do. >> jimmy: can i ask a dumb question? >> yes, sir. >> jimmy: for a holiday, you want to have traditions. is there a specific food? is there a specific drink?

what, how do we celebrate juneteenth? what are the traditions? are there any yet? >> there are, it just depends on where you are. i mean, they definitely sing "let there be voice and sing." that's going to happen in a home us to way. obviously, we cook out and barbecue. when i was a kid i was in the youth chapter of naacp. n-a-r-d and neptunes. and shay, his aunt used to lead the chapter for us. she used to celebrate juneteenth, and i never knew what it want and i t made the connection in high school, because there were different histories and not just one. for me, we used to cook out, and i never put the pieces together. you get to school and july 4,

were suffering from the effects of the covid-19 to actually be able to operate and make some money for their families as well. what they've done in virginia is unbelievable. and especially in our msa, the cities of 757. it's been pretty amazing. and we're not done. we fed over like a million and a half people and still counting. >> jimmy: wow. wow. think are the real department wck.org. world central kitchen, and happy juneteenth. you're getting a holiday on the callan dash. . >> can i say this really quick? >> jimmy: yeah. >> if you riley care about your fellow americans, this is a holiday you should support. you should be reaching out to your local governors and telling them how important it is for you. i hate challenges. i hate call to actions. i've never had a successful hash tag in my life.

i'm not saying that. i'm just saying, it's american. if you really believe in it, let's go. the corporations are all doing it. they all understand. it's not a red or a blue thing. it's an american thing. and it's for us. it is for your black brothers and sisters. >> jimmy: the man is right. pharrell williams. thank you, pharrell, we'll be right back. >> dicky: portions of jimmy kimmel live are brought to you by plan ters, a fan of dads everywhere. when you treat every little piece of a thing. like it's not just one thing. but everything. because when each part does everything better than ever. imagine what you can do with the sum of those parts. the new dell xps (10th gen intel bong)
