I misunderstood the question and gave you more credit than you seem to want.

How have *I* celebrated Juneteenth? The same way I have celebrated Hannukkah - it has not been part of my culture so I have not celebrated it. I imagine most 5 yr olds would have the same answer.

How *will* I celebrate/observe Juneteenth going forward? I am not sure. I need to learn if it is a day of celebration (Independence Day), a day of giving thanks (Thanksgiving), or a day of contemplation (Memorial Day). I will take my clue from those in the community who have had this day as part of their culture for many years. One thing I know I will not do is call it stupid.
