Most blacks don’t observe or even know about Juneteenth.
I never heard of it back east. I saw a few music festivals with Juneteenth in the title when I lived in Oakland, Ca.
lots of kiosks, jewerly, and art for sale.
This was at Lake Merritt, about one mile from the Jack London area downtown.
If I stopped by, I was always careful to be gone long before sundown. By that time, you find a lot of people walking around wanting to sell drugs, or so I used to hear.
I only know of it because I live in Texas.
I am reminded of this scene from The Office that someone passed onto me a while ago:
“Stanley on Christmas”
