#Juneteenth #Texas #ABCNews
Although I grew up part of my early life outside of Atlanta GA and Annandale VA and learned Georgia history, we never learned anything about Juneteenth being any kind of a holiday and was not celebrated. Martin Luther King Day however
It is 2 words ignorant and stupid
It is the opposit of americana.
Such ignorance. I blame the media. Slavery was abolished in January of 1865. That should be the date that should be celebrated. June is irrelevant to abolishing slavery. Idiots. Definitely will not support or honor "Juneteenth". Whatever that is.
Yes, Gordon Granger stood on that balcony and told slaves that they were free but let's not forget the black soliders who helped him. Black soliders on horses and with riffles in their hands went around telling people they were free They chased a bunch of Confederate soldiers out of Texas and into Mexico.
My point is that black people had a huge hand in their own freedom.
Sad that this was not recognized on this worldwide level prior to everything going on
Who cares
stay update with the news https://thenewspanels.com/civil-rights-isnt-over-americans-mark-juneteenth-coast-to-coast/
Will the parade this year feature the half naked twerking girl?
We have never heard of it in England
It should count as a real holiday then. But seriously, no one important cares.

Another Pagan Holiday that the Most High Almighty hates.
I can’t believe I never learned this in high school 😳
There is neither bond nor free nor Jew nor Greek , male nor female but all are the same in Gods eyes
Never heard of it? Slavery was absolutely horrific and never should have happened in the first place.
Only reason Democrats are celebrating Juneteenth is because Trump scheduled a rally on the same day… 😂😂
Never heard of it
I am from Gary, Indiana if anybody knows about Gary Indiana? Well…..how come we never heard anything about THIS. Lefties and the media need to stop!
💕🇱🇾🇱🇷ðŸÂ³ï¸ÂÂâ€ÂÂ🌈✌ï¸ÂÂMay we ALL grow from this. Remember it’s ALL for and about LOVE â¤ï¸ÂÂGod BlessðŸ™ÂÂðŸÂ¼
Slavery may be over but genocide still continues in Planned Parenthood.

Our history textbooks need to be rewritten. Important and accurate facts have been left out. I read about the real truth about Christopher Columbus in college.
Keep on Pushing, Curtis Mayfield
The day I'm gonna pay bills from now on…Juneteenth of Octember, the eleventeenth month of the year, 34th day of the same month… like Abbot and Costello's Rent Math.ðŸ˜ÂÂ🤙

Q: WHAT IS JUNETEENTH?? A: COMPLETE BULLSH*T!!..
Great day THE GOP/REPUBLICAN'S ENDED SLAVERY…. DEMS WANTED SLAVERY, HENCH THE CILVIL WAR
I just heard about it today after 15 years it’s a shame my school anit teach us about or on history .
June teenth is a very sacred holiday for our African American and LGBTQ friends.
Let's embody the principles of Kwanzaa: Cooperative economics, unity, faith in our people, purpose, creativity, self determination, work and responsibility.
this offends me!….will the demands ever end?….no one ever heard of juneteenth until recently!……and when the slaves were emancipated, what was the democrats position? history tells us they opposed it and now they want to claim they're the savior?….the only new federal holiday we need is if and when folks finally get on with their lives and quit all this whining and complaining!….i suspect that will never happen
I'm inventing a competing Asian holiday. I call it BULLSHINTOISM.
First QWANZA, then EBONICS, now this!
Glory to our Heavenly Father for a more free life on this date. True freedom isn’t until one has accepted Christ as your LORD and Savior.
Galatians 5:1 👑 Romans 6:11
I just read a post on instagram that said "white people, don't take vacation or day off during june" . How did this world became so crazy.
Why hasn't the democrat liberal teachers union made sure we all know this? Its becoming more and more obvious to everyone how racist democrats really are!
Happy Juneteenth ! Even we got paid holiday.
