Like many, I didn't know what Juneteenth meant just a few years ago and had to look it up. Now, when I really think about slavery and the thought of owning a human being and selling someone or separating a family it makes me sick.
Think about someone taking your family member to sell as a worker/slave. I'm sure you're thinking what I'm thinking, over my dead body.
All Americans should be proud that slavery is history and understand that Juneteenth is a celebration that America eliminated a barbaric practice.
