Default An important date in history
It’s important to commemorate the day that African Americans were declared free from being enslaved. I don’t celebrate it personally but I will share this: My sister is in a nursing home, and I have gotten to know one of its employees well because he facilitates FaceTime calls for me with my sis, using his own phone. He’s an African American, and for the past two years, I have sent him an email with “Happy Juneteenth!” He responds with so much appreciation that I acknowledged it. And that makes my day.
