[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not like it’s an important holiday. It’s a new one and hardly anyone celebrates it[/quote] Tell me you are white and uneducated without telling me you are white and uneducated. It's a very old holiday and lots of people celebrate it. What's new is that it is now a federal holiday.[/quote] DP here. My issue with Juneteenth is it has little relevance at the national level. [b]It celebrates the end of slavery in Texas[/b], when Major General Granger signed an order freeing slaves in Texas specifically. I'm all for a national holiday to celebrate the end of slavery, but then let's choose a date with national not Texas-only significance. How about September 22, the day Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation?[/quote] No, it celebrates the *end* of *slavery* -- we're not free until we're all free.[/quote] Slavery is still legal in prison.
