[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know why it's called "Juneteenth" and not like emancipation day or something else? [/quote] It's a regional holiday that evolved naturally, and then when the feds were looking for a way to commemorate the end of slavery, they chose to make it national. But it's not emancipation day. That's a different day.[/quote] Could be called "Last emancipation day" instead of "Juneteenth."[/quote] Why?[/quote] Because we can't let BIPOC name their own holidays now, can we? They'll start to think they're our equals. (sarcasm)[/quote]
