Juneteenth was a neat, local tradition celebrated in Texas, primarily by blacks. The reason for the vague date was known and the Galveston pronouncement is indeed worth celebrating if you are black. Many white Texans also enjoyed the low-key BBQ’s, cookouts, picnics and other family get-togethers on the appropriate date, but didn’t presume to take over the “holiday.”

However, liberals ruin everything they touch. Because Trump scheduled a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma on the Juneteenth in 2020, liberals had a big fit and whined until he postponed it. Now it’s a NATIONAL holiday? Makes sense only to a liberal.

Not only that, but Junteenth Day just honors the proclamation itself. Slavery still continued for another year and a half.

It's the Kwanzaa of summer holidays.
