Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Deriving its name from combining "June" and "nineteenth", it is celebrated on the anniversary of the order, issued by Major General Gordon Granger on June 19, 1865, proclaiming freedom for slaves in Texas.[7] If you can't connect the dots, you're just being ignorant on purpose.

NeoShadowhen 05/26/23 5:24:04 PM #45:	ZaruenKosai posted... Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Deriving its name from combining "June" and "nineteenth", it is celebrated on the anniversary of the order, issued by Major General Gordon Granger on June 19, 1865, proclaiming freedom for slaves in Texas.[7] Thats the main source of my confusion. If their definition of race-based holiday is a holiday that race plays a central role, then I wish theyd just said that, because I agree. If it is more akin to a religion-based holiday, those are typically only observed by members of the religion. As it is now a federal holiday, it applies to everyone, but not all holidays are observed by all people even if they are federal holidays. So I just wanted them to clarify their terms. <cite>NeoShadowhen posted [p:973736348] in Celebrate ...
