https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juneteenth
Juneteenth[b] (officially Juneteenth National Independence Day and historically known as Jubilee Day,[2] Black Independence Day,[3] and Emancipation Day[4][5]) is a federal holiday in the United States celebrating the emancipation of African American slaves.[6] Originating in Galveston, Texas, in 1866, it has been celebrated annually on June 19 throughout the United States. It became a recognized federal holiday in June 2021 when President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law.[7][8][9] It is commemorated on the anniversary date of the June 19, 1865, announcement of General Order No. 3 by Union Army general Gordon Granger, proclaiming freedom for slaves in Texas.[10]
We should celebrate Juneteenth by educating Americans about some basic historical facts.
- Abe Lincoln founded the Republican party for the sole purpose of abolishing slavery

- Democrats went to war against the USA, to keep their slaves
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_War
-
Because the GOP was founded as an abolitionist party, very few, if any, Republicans have ever owned slaves.
-
Republicans were responsible for pretty much all of the Civil Rights Acts throughout history

- Democrats formed the KKK, and Democrats lynched Republicans

- The only reason Juneteenth is being talked about in 2021, is because Trump pushed for it in 2020

did you know... that several other people were arrested, convicted, and executed for Lincoln's assassination? http://centerforaninformedamerica.com/lincoln/

and for those who claim the parties have switched positions:
Democrats 1860: bbbut if we don't have slaves, then who will pick the cotton?
Democrats 2022: bbbut if we don't have illegals, then who will pick the vegetables?
How about we celebrate Juneteenth the same way every American celebrates Columbus Day?
By either ignoring it or trying to cancel it? Sounds good to me.
