Jazz musician and America's Hot Musician judge Gregory Charles Royal filed a federal lawsuit against Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin yesterday for allegedly violating the law by failing to issue the 2007 Juneteenth Proclamation as set forth by the Alaskan Legislature. The holiday observance, which celebrates the freeing of the last remaining slaves in Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865, has been adopted in 29 states and was signed into law in Alaska in 2001. The bill known as HB 100 specifies that the "governor shall issue a proclamation observing the day."
