its still really fucked up to me that the first time I heard about this was through a superhero tv show (HBOs watchmen)

not school, a fucking superhero show

I think you are thinking of the Tulsa race massacre, which I also learned about from the Watchmen tv show (sadly enough). Juneteenth is a different thing, the date where slaves in Texas learned they had been emancipated, something like 2 years after the official emancipation. It has been a bit of a big deal in Texas for awhile so I knew about it. Glad they made an official holiday for it.
