Topic	Anybody see or hear any garbage takes about Juneteenth yet?
Unknown5uspect 06/19/22 11:31:52 PM #17:	SergeantGander posted... Idk if this will get labeled as a garbage take...it is kinda more of a question than a take though. But I think Juneteenth is an odd name. I understand that it comes from the day that the union army arrived in Texas to announce the emancipation proclamation. Why make the holiday June 19th around that one specific announcement, and not the day the emancipation proclamation was signed? I can see why they wouldn't want to double up with New Years Day, but why not the day it was announced in another state, why Texas? Texas was the last stop for the Union Army to tell the Confederates the Emancipation Proclamation made their slaves free. --- #EatTheRich <cite>Unknown5uspect posted [p:965952564] in Anybody se...
