Juneteenth

Hi friends!

No message this time. Just didn't like the fact that it's been two solid months since a post was entered, but as things go - an idea just came to mind. So, it IS June 19th and today is known as Juneteenth - to some people. That is, some people are very familiar with the date's significance, while others never even heard of Juneteenth. I've gotta tell ya, it's really in recent years that I became aware of Juneteenth. Well, that's not a totally accurate statement.

I've heard of Juneteenth, but never knew it was actually celebrated by anyone. Yeah, it's a big deal in Texas and supposedly a few states here and there observe it as a holiday. Oh, what is Juneteenth? Juneteenth is - and I quote - Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. - end of quote.

And that's it. I'm tired. I'm done. Despite that I logged on just to say "hi" I've still managed to dispense some knowledge. Alright!
