June 19 is Juneteenth, the day “commemorating the emancipation of slavery in the United States.”
Except, of course, that it didn’t. June 19th is when slaves learned of their emancipation in Galveston, Texas. Other slaves heard the news earlier and some later. And no slaves were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation in MO, KY, DE, WV, MD or states/counties/parishes under Union control on Jan. !, 1863. They had to wait for their states to outlaw slavery or the ratification of the 13th Amendment.
Facts don’t matter. Only their ‘truths’.
