IF framed in the right manner it's not a bad idea.

It's the day the Army of the Republic under the overall command of Abraham Lincoln (R) made the Emancipation Proclaimation real for slaves held by demoncrats.

The GOP was, and still is, the party of freedom and liberation.

Use the date to highlight the continued existence of slavery trade and human trafficking in the 21st century.

If people are going to denounce slavery, be global about it.

Silence = Violence, so they say

“It's the day the Army of the Republic under the overall command of Abraham Lincoln (R) made the Emancipation Proclaimation real for slaves held by demoncrats.”

I don't wish to put too fine a point on this but Juneteenth is about freeing the slaves of Democrats in the Confederate States. The freeing of slaves owned by Democrats in the United States would come later; after President Lincoln's death.

No it’s not.

If they’re really interested in the declaration, it would be Emancipation Day in September.

This is local day with indecipherable language.
