Isnt junteenth emacipation proclamation day? If so should be called that juneteenth cheapens that milestone in american history IMO. As i understand it juneteenth is the day word of the freeing of slaves reached galveston in very deep south. The 13th amendment wasnt ratified until december if my memory serves. It really has origin in emancipation proclamation but i get it and honor it but it should be declared a holiday maybe trump will do it tomorrow. Its a cinch dems wont unless they think they can profit damn sure dim dems didnt have a lot to do with the proclamation or amendment

To answer the original question I hadn't heard much about it until just recently. I'm ok to commemorate the occasion - it's more reasonable than having a holiday for MLK.

A lib should know all the wacko special days--do YOU celebrate Kwanzaa? Do YOU also speak ebonics? Do YOU march everytime a black kills a black in chicago?

Guys i told you why it was today. I do think calling it juneteenth cheapens a very significant event but leave it to current dims to verbally downsize the meaning for that matter id like to hear the talking heads tell us why its significant... probably they cant as they dont believe in looking up the historical significance. Should be a holiday except for the gubment. They are essential you know cant afford to have them off a day.
Context to why the day is so important and why this date is essential to understanding how this country it was shaped and continues to be shaped and evolve tand all Americans of every ethnicity should observe it

"Juneteenth" IMO has more right to be a holiday than MLK day.

LOL The big bad keyboard gangster RR says so .... grrrrrrr grrrrrr. Most of America is near the middle unfortunately it's the faar left nuts and faar right nuts like YOU that speak the loudest n is what gets heard.

YOU still don't answer--when did YOU learn about juneteenth?
I learned this week--when TRUMP talked about it.
I know about June 19--Emancipation Proclamation--but nothing about "juneteenth"--until 4 days ago.
Why has such a term been kept secret for so long?
And--have YOU learned to shoot legs?
Did YOU know the lib scarves celebrate a slave trade african tribe?

So--at this point--not a single person has claimed to have identified with "juneteenth" until very recently---because TRUMP made the date "famous" for those seeking to denounce his gathering in Tulsa tonight!! juneteenth--like kwanza and ebonics--just an issue to create division, demands and denunciations. WHY did obama and biden ignore juneteenth if it is so important and deserved a paid holiday? They made no effort to recognize juneteenth and make it a holiday. Surely obama knew of its importance--or did he--being of Kenyan descent? Were obama descendents from the african tribe that trapped other blacks and sold um into slavery? So, HE ignored their freedom in the USA by a Republican president. Is obama that MEAN? rr
