It is also the anniversary of General Greene's death.

On June 19, 1775, George Washington received his commission as commander in chief of the Continental army from the delegates assembled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. |

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. |
