    Did you know that it’s almost Juneteenth! If you weren't sure what Juneteenth is a holiday that commemorates the end of slavery in America. Black people celebrate by having cookouts, setting off fireworks, and celebrating Black Excellence.

    • @HercuLync
      @HercuLync 6 месяцев назад

      Galeveston is ground zero for Juneteenth. The reason it wasn't celebrated everywhere is because a lot of other places had their own celebrations centered around their own hometown's emancipation day. Places like Detroit picked up Juneteenth because their state didn't have an emancipation day. There was a big argument over whether Juneteenth or Dec. 6th should be the national holiday. The wrong day won. @@alanacholmes

      I grew up in West Virginia, and it wasn't until I moved to Texas that I had even heard of it. And of course it was from other white folks who, apparently didn't know the history. Thanks for teaching this white woman what it is really about!

      I'm not saying it was right. I'm just saying that's what they said.
      It didn't make sense back then. But I'd already learned that school was not about being curuous. whatever answer they wanted I regurgitated. I just didn't want any trouble.

      @@ludokerfluffle6232 If anyone has ever been to Washington DC and visited Capitol Hill, the US National Archives building is about a block from Congress. The 1942 USDA video *Hemp for Victory* was found in the Library of Congress in 1989 and has been officially listed in the US National Archives since 1990. There was a bill in Congress titled HR 3652, the *Hemp for Victory Act of 2019.*
      Let's review: a video from 1942 was listed in the US National Archives in 1990, but didn't reach Congress (a block away) until 2019 (and still didn't become law because barely anyone has heard of it ).
      Nothing makes sense because humans don't make sense.
      We call ourselves a "free country" while we pay billions of tax dollars every year for police to wage war against our fellow Americans over the exact same "Marihuana" plant that was legalized to defend America during World War II, and video proof of this generations-old lie is on everyone's cellphones at an official government website but not even Senators have heard of it.
