**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

That should be the national holiday.

We aren't a nation without it.

I always celebrate this day with some beef taco cones.

I mean, OK, that's a worthwhile thing to celebrate I suppose. More important than probably Columbus Day, or at least as important.
That's not even accurate. The date slavery totally ended was Dec 6th but Juneteenth sounds better.

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.

There’s more history others have touched on but stripping that away it’s just a de facto vs de jure argument.

They wanted one date and went with the one that already held some cultural significance in parts of the South.

You two and a lot others on here need to read a history book every once in a while.

Lincoln freed the slaves in 1863. The Texas territory decided not to tell the slaves and keep them as slaves. The federal government forced Texas to finally tell the slaves on June 19th 1865 that they were free. The carrot was Texas would be accepted as a state as soon as they freed the slaves. 1866 Texas became a state. It was a trade off. It was a political deal. Nothing to do with human beings being the property of other human beings.
