Happy Juneteenth to all who celebrate it.

If you're not familiar with it, google it for a good story.

As a Canadian I’ve never heard of Juneteenth. I googled it and it is a day worth remembering!

I had never heard of Juneteenth, and I even lived in Texas for a while. You learn something new every day!

Thanks for posting. Since moving away from Texas, I thought Juneteenth had been forgotten.

It's really sad that Americans in general are not taught about it...

Yeah. But then our education system is seriously lacking in so many ways.

I’m 64 and don’t recall any hullabaloos about Juneteenth. My sons girlfriend mentioned it to me to go to Boston, I declined. Don’t like big crowds. When people get together on the streets some one always messes it up
