@Deglassco@mastodon.social Thanks for posting this. I knew most of it, especially that people were still enslaved until the 13th amendment, but I didn’t know it was a time when people could find missing loved ones. As a white person, I always thought Juneteenth an important date because we have to remember the past atrocities so we can guard against them happening again. More of a Memorial Day or Veteran’s Day. I’m glad that African Americans can find true happiness in this day and not just “well, the whites finally got it right and stopped enslaving people”
