At least commemorating the conservative white republican overthrow of the racist democrat institution of slavery is not a bad idea. I just hate to see other holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Presidents Day so often trashed by racist democrats today.

Juneteenth commemorates the Union Army’s June 16, 1865 declaration in Galveston, Texas that slavery had been outlawed in the United States, liberating America’s remaining enslaved African Americans. Former President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation two years prior. All 50 states except South Dakota honor and celebrate Juneteenth as a holiday.
