[Dana1963]

Another failure of the American Education system Wall St riots Oklahoma massacre 1921 June 19and Axe Handle Saturday August 27, 1960 (coincidentally Aug 27, 2020 RNC Convention Jacksonville Fl) where again Blacks were indiscriminately attacked by KKK. Might say it’s part of the unwritten history of the United States. Surprisingly it took 2 years after the Emancipation proclamation the slaves were not freed in the South considering we had the telegraph and print news. Suppression to keep people enslaved for profit!

Kwanzaa - HISTORY

Juneteenth celebrates emancipation, freedom from slavery and IMHO qualifies as a legitimate holiday, like the 4th of July.

I hope you meant created or should black history be less then white history Otis Redding said it best change is going to come , it took awhile but there is a change and it’s now get on the bus or live in the past

Too much of what is treated as actual black history has been found to be a hoax when presented as factual. Here is an example. THE CELEBRATED ‘ROOTS’ OF A LIE

Back to the subject of the thread.
I never heard of juneteenth before this year.
That is not such an alarming state....most haven't either.

BUT......how did it go from not being heard of by so many and all the way to becoming a national holiday in a matter of days?

The suggestive, brain washing effect of the media with any subject that supports/promotes their agenda and political accomplishment.

The silent majority being dragged along again!!!

I had never heard about it either.

I looked on our free citizen's bank calender its not on it either.

It is however on my Google calender 2020. It was on my Google calender last year 2019 but it wasn't there in 2018 or earlier.

Maybe my head is/was burried in the sand.

All but four US states celebrate Juneteenth as a holiday

Pennsylvania will join 45 other states and the District of Columbia in either marking the day as a state holiday or observance. That leaves just four states that don't recognize the holiday: Hawaii, North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana.

You should be commended...for even saying that.

All too many others...never would.

Sad and disgusting for sure, but "hard to believe"...not really.
