Juneteenth was a decent size celebration by Blacks in Texas for quite a few years. It was the first day the emancipation proclamation was read in Texas.
It wasn't anywhere else in the country and I doubt most Blacks could even tell you what the celebration is about.
It’s totally a Texas thing that Biden just appropriated for the whole country... and what about the “free” states. They never even had slaves in those states, right? So what are they celebrating? “We were right all alongteenth?” I kid, I kid. If you want to know the TRUTH about the global transatlantic slave trade, watch the Globe Trekker special on global transatlantic slave trade. This is made from a non-head-up-my-own-ass perspective, as the show is from new zealand or Australia i believe.
