very historical and funny
So shouldn't it only be celebrated in Texas? 8>)
Yes, as Patriots Day is celebrated in MA, etc. And April 15th is celebrated by the Liberals countrywide. And July 4th is no longer celebrated.
Well definitely liberal politicians at any rate, though they are bummed out that the taxes they collect as so darn low. 8>)
A French pirate?
I would rather have June tenth be a National Holiday than the communist loving mlk day.
Juneteenth, also Sounds good with proper emphasis on the correct syllables ( all of them and some not there) it’s a cultural thing . Is it on 10 June. All this fuss over a damn....
Proud to say I’ve had the pleasure of firing an insufferable, entitled black militant female for taking off Kwanza when she ran completely out of sick/vacation days, after warning her in writing. I did have an employee take off for Juneteenth but he did take a vacation day for it. Good kid. Was back at work, sober, unlike others.
Cajun. Louisiana French
LOL!
Ah, thanks!
A holiday celebrated on 19 June to commemorate the emancipation
of enslaved people in the US. The holiday was first celebrated in
Texas, where on that date in 1865, in the aftermath of the Civil War,
slaves were declared free under the terms of the 1862 Emancipation
Proclamation. It commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union general
Gordon Granger read federal orders in Galveston, Texas, that all
previously enslaved people in Texas were free.
Wow....did the mail mover ever slow!
