It is a reminder that freedom prevails, whether you like it or not, and that free people WILL be informed about their freedom, whether you like it or not.

If you have a problem with that, then you are invited to live in a country where slaves are never told that they are free.

Do you see at all that what we were taught growing up (people should be judged on the content of character not color of their skin) is now being criticized? In many ways the teaching of MLK is contrary to what is believed in the movement BLM.

Character counts. Wish George Floyd had some.

I wish some of the people posting on this thread had some. Shameful.

And if I am not mistaken, Lincoln also shipped a bunch of blacks to Africa where the settlement became known as Liberia. There is a lot more to it than that, but still.....

A Texas holiday, not really relevant to the Whole U.S. of A. A federal holiday to show how lucky the slaves were in Texas to finally be recognized as free slaves? And the whole country celebrates the embarrassing screw up of Texas?

You are. James Monroe. And that’s why the capital of Liberia is Monrovia
