..Juneteenth is a “African-American” holiday...

Look for this to become a Federal holiday at some point.

I beleive Texas is the only state in that this is a paid holiday.

No. More likely El Cinco De Mayo will be the next holiday.
Don’t know who the driver was, but by the name of the passenger my guess is he was a Mexican.

I guess a lot of people are getting riled up about illegal aliens killing Americans with their cars.

And no - despite my tag name “ZULU” I’m white.

If it was called Emancipation Day then every American would celebrate it. But by giving it an Ebonic name it can be separate.

Nope. It's a Texas thing.
