I think we all agree that freeing slaves was an important positive event, but if Lincoln, the guy who ended slavery, can share Washington’s Birthday as a national holiday, I think Juneteenth can share MLK’s birthday.

Juneteenth is to celebrate the Union army general who made the proclamation and the Union soldiers who made that possible.
