Not only that, but Junteenth Day just honors the proclamation itself. Slavery still continued for another year and a half.

It's the Kwanzaa of summer holidays.

All because someone in the media noticed Trump had a rally on that day.

Even Trump cucked out on it.

Juneteenth is an incorrect holiday. Firstly, it’s based upon the Emancipation Proclamation, an executive order that could have been rescinded with a stroke of a pen by President Andrew Johnson. It’s not based upon law. Secondly, and more importantly, Juneteenth has nothing to do with the end of slavery in the United States. Slavery remained legal in four states (Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware - Biden should have known better) for another six months. The end of slavery should be celebrated on the anniversary of the ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment - December 6th. 1865.
