A giant Afro hair pick with a clenched "black power" fist was unveiled in New Orleans on Friday in celebration of Juneteenth – the holiday paying tribute to the last American slaves being freed. However, the eyebrow-raising statue was widely panned online.

Some ran away to get their freedom and some fought for the Union, but virtually all slaves, like the ones in Texas gained their freedom because the Union army occupied where they lived.

You're right. Also because communication wasn't what it is today, some slaves didn't know about emancipation for several weeks after it happened. A great moment in our history with many thanks to Lincoln...

Doesn’t matter how rightfully and accurately it is attacked and criticized, it’s for BLACK “history” and “culture”, therefore it’s politically correct and protected.

HISTORY: Not all slaves were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, nor via Juneteenth. Only the slaves of the REBEL states were freed then. Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation was a wartime effort to split and weaken the South; he did NOT free any slaves in the Northern states. Slaves in the non-rebelling border states had to wait for the 13th Amendment, effective December 18, 1865.
