MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Juneteenth flag celebrating the a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the U.S. will fly over the Wisconsin Capitol for the first time in state history. Gov. Tony Evers announced Wednesday that the flag will be up all day on Friday. It will replace the rainbow gay pride flag for one day. That flag is up all month and flew for the first time in Wisconsin history last year. Also on Wednesday, 29 Democrats in the Wisconsin Assembly asked Evers to call a special legislative session starting Friday to enact law changes to reform the criminal justice system.
