**Happy Juneteenth**
What are you doing to celebrate this new Federal holiday?


What's on the dinner menu?


Did you get the day off or got to work and collect holiday pay?


Happy Juneteenth

It's true. They need to hurry the **** up with Indigenous People's Day.

Get that **** Columbus out of the mix and give people another day off work to get back in touch with the 1/32 part of them that's Cherokee

Just looked it up. Yep, end of slavery as the last state to hold out on enforcing the Emancipation Proclamation (Texas) freed their slaves on June 19th 1865.

I mean, OK, that's a worthwhile thing to celebrate I suppose. More important than probably Columbus Day, or at least as important.

I'm at work, but there are plenty of people I know who have the day off. I'm sure as time goes on they will make more and more of a big deal out of it.

That's not even accurate. The date slavery totally ended was Dec 6th but Juneteenth sounds better.

Quote:
Although this date commemorates enslaved people learning of their freedom under the Emancipation Proclamation, this only applied to former Confederate states. There remained legally enslaved people in states that never seceded from the Union. These people did not gain their freedom until the ratification of the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution on December 6, 1865.

The holiday was originally just celebrated in Texas starting in 1866, so the date makes sense. June needed a holiday anyway. Kinda fun that this one can fall on any day of the week like Independence Day. Today is like a mini-weekend.
