[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you think this holiday is for black people - then you are 100% part of the problem. This is a holiday to recognize an important event in *our* country.[/quote] So why honor Juneteenth, which was only about freeing slaves in Texas? Why not the 13th amendment anniversary, that ended slavery in the USA? All slaves, just not the ones in Texas.[/quote] Except it didn’t end slavery on that date, because it took that long for the news to travel to all who had been freed. Nobody got a text alert on their phone about it. [/quote] You're confusing the Emancipation Proclamation with the 13th Amendment. [/quote]
