Where the hell do they get this “Juneteenth”? Lincoln signed the 13th Feb. 1st. Is Feb. 1st racist now?
December 6, 1865 is the date that should be celebrated! Since it’s the date that the 13th Amendment was made part of the Constitution! All this Juneteeth besides not being a word is the worse sort of virtue signaling. It’s a celebration of historical ignorance.
The Union soldiers arriving in Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865 and declaring the slaves in Texas to be free. It’s a combination of the words “June” and “Nineteenth.” It has been an official state holiday in Texas since 1980.
Oh noes, not another F’d up date.
