I grew up in Texas and Juneteenth was always a BIG holiday growing up. I remember in 1980 when they passed it, I was 10, but even before then it had been celebrated in the community. Once I grew up it was interesting to see that it was not such a big thing in Cali or NYC where I would later live. But yes this was a great explanation - easy to digest.
@@janetownley Yeah that was me when I got to Cali (now living in NYC where there is a big notice of it). But in Cali it did not seem to have a large influence or media attention. In Houston growing up it was something even in the news and commercials on Television.

@TRIBULATION IS COMING You are preaching to the choir. I already submitted a reply to the OP talking about about ACTUAL racism in East african countries by Arabian powers. As well as the hereditary sex/child labour of spiritual servitude. Y'know, REAL racism and contemporary too. But Jade and the other idiots in the thread would rather talk about imaginary racism in nebulous circumstance, that people like George "kidnaps pregnant women" Flloyd put himself in. @Jade Jene' btw thanks for reporting my comment and getting it deleted. Read a book, scumbag.
TRIBULATION IS COMING are you white or white washed? Yes, my ancestors did make deals with the Euro’s. It was ULTIMATELY exploited by the White man. I’m sure some Europeans never went to their home land but would you tell them to stop claiming their ancestors? Italian-American, German-American.... I speak on behalf of Genetics, DNA. Doesn’t matter where I’ve been or what soil I tread on. Africa is the beginning of all civilization. I will give it props, just as much as Eurocentric ideals try to steal, exploit, and perpetrate it.

Is there a snowflake in the thread already?? There is and you know who you are. It just flat out infringes on YOUR rights to include others when others include you ALL the time.
I have spent years studying "American History" and have NEVER heard mention of Juneteenth. Its a disgrace. This is arguably the moat important day of independence in the countries history and it isn't in a single documentary, textbook, or popular book I have consumed. I have a new focus on my study of history, and it is a shame it took me so long to desire to fill in the gaps. But if you are not honest, the lie will hurt more than the truth ever will. Thank you for this amazing piece of American history. I will be celebrating this day right along July 4th.
It saddens me to know that I am just now finding out about this. I majored in history in college. I took black history at Fayetteville State. So much history has been lost. This was extremely informative.
Imagine being black & going to public schools for 13 years without ever learning this. I just found out about Juneteenth 4 years ago. Schools need to do better.
We have to completely rearrange how we teach children the history of this country because no one ever taught me anything about this in New England back in 1982 onwards. This is clearly messed up. It’s also dangerous to forget or rewrite history because it has a good chance of repeating again and again and again. Black Americans of the Northern, Central, and Southern hemispheres have largely been robbed of their history just as most Native Americans have been. The Jewish Holocaust survivors understood this and have been hammering this point home since the end of WW2. And still there are deniers. It’s still not something many students get to under in a full and intelligent way in public schools. Now try to see how much you don’t truly know about racism when it is taught as a past tense solved problem in school. It’s mind blowing how much we don’t know and how many dark secrets and amazing tales of heroism we’ve yet to discover on a national level.
New information for me today! Almost 59 years of age! I was 27 when I first heard about "Manzanar" (the internment camp for AMERICANS-- of ASIAN descent during WWII.) I know I missed SOME details when I was in school. But, we are talking entire parallel universes of information! Say whaaaaat??? Someone got some 'splainin' to do here!
Well written.. So much. But one thing remains the hate they have of us.. It’s mind blowing.. I could not live with hate in my heart as it would destroy me.. God must truly love us to endure such madness..
J. C. They also put Germans in camps too don’t forget that. They put white people in camps if you think asians were being discriminated your wrong. If America went to another world war new people to this country who have not yet assimilated would be put in camps. Sucks living in a great nation that stands behinds it’s people. So sad we protect our own from the dangers of the world. Don’t let globalist shame you
1. Democrat party was the party of slavery 2. Republican party had the first elected black representatives decades before the Democrats had one . 3. Abraham Lincoln ,a republican president who fought to end slavery was killed by J.W. Booth a Democrat . 4. At the end of the civil war ''NO REPUBLICAN'' owed a slave. All 4 million slaves were owned by Democrats . 5. Democrats formed the KKK and were holding all high positions in the organization . 6. Democrats in the majority opposed the 13th, 14th and the 15th amendments . 7. All Jim Crow laws were formulated , promoted and passed by Democrats . 8. Every single piece of civil rights legislation put forward by republicans were voted against by democrats from 1866 to 1966 .. One hundred years !! Now let's see if they dare teach "Black history '' in schools .. 🤬🤬🤬
I was sitting there in Detroit looking at all these black folks celebrating the Fourth of July but at the same time shaking my head to see the state of my people and not realize how brainwash we are. If we would stop trying to be accepted and start celebrating holidays that benefit us we will go a lot further.
hey JJC JJC it is NOT brain "washing" it is brain CONDITIONING/PROGRAMMING ! it would be a GOOD thing to WASH our brains clean of ALL the bullshit/lies we have been PROGRAMED to believe! i welcome a complete brain WASH PLEASE so i can start over clean!!!
I am a Caucasian security guard in Tennessee. After stopping several individuals for setting off low grade fireworks at an apartment complex, I explained that the party and the BBQ was fine. However the fireworks would need to stop. They started to clean up the mess.Thay explained the holiday, and I was happy to look up what they were talking about. Your video was the first one I saw and I watched it with some of the members of the party. We all thought you did a great job in explaining the holiday. They cooked me up a burger and we had a great time befor I had to continue my rounds. Thank you. #PerfectSoapBox
Thank GOD the story is finally being told to the masses. Now all we have to do is update our educational materials so that the entire story is taught in our schools ! !
There is a reason that our GOD allows us to go through the horrendous trials and tribulations. (Read the entire book of Jeremiah, especially the middle chapters and also the 28th Chapter of Deuteronomy). If we truly are GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE. We have to do things HIS WAY. FOCUS on GOD--and NOT our problems. GOD'S message to ALL BELIEVERS IS---and herein lies OUR POWER: 2 CHRONICLES 7:14: THEN if MY people, who are called by MY NAME [belong to ME], will HUMBLE themselves, if they will PRAY and SEEK ME and stop their evil ways, I will HEAR THEM from heaven. I will FORGIVE their sin, and I will HEAL [RESTORE] their land. (HE DID IT for the RIGHTEOUS Kings in the OLD TESTAMENT.) (KJV ) (HE can also do it for HIS true believers.) ( EXB) Read also KJV or NKJV.
Juneteenth is a Texas State holiday and should not be a federal holiday. How many of you Israelites had ancestors in brutal slave condition is South Texas area of Houston and Galveston (?) if you didn't shut the heck up.
Mike Hood My great grand mother was a maid in Bryan Texas. When she would walk to work she was harassed by the land owner. He threatened to shoot her if she crossed his property. The family she worked for bought the land she crossed and gave it to her. He sold the land because it was no good. Funny thing....It was oil on the land. We celebrate juneteenth because we were all the classified as the same and as they say today the struggle was real. Feathers Up!!! My great great great granny insisted she was a Blackfoot.
Didn't know that.. I never celebrated July 4th because I knew everyone didn't get the, "So Call, "Independence." I was close with my reason, but I've learned something new.
I'm a black West Indian and been in the US for over 20 years and this is the 1st I'm actually learning what it means. A shame, but we need to educate ourselves more.
@John LaFever only people who want to live in the past are the racists who had it so good, don't think black people want to live in the past, they just don't want to forget. You seem to want to hide something just like white racists who, on the other hand, what to celebrate and reshape the image of treasonous, racist militia who lost the war. I wonder why?
@@1990758 Why not? It's an important part in American history. Everyone needs to know about it. The Jews know everything about their history. Why not now?
I'm really glad and thankful for people caring enough to inform and educate people like me on this important event. I've always tried my best to learn from others and grow as both as an individual and as a member of society. I myself have been fairly luck with what people say about my Hispanic heritage and sexual orientation but I have met some nasty people. But I can always tell on the people of different communities for some type of encouragement and support. And I know I'm just rambling on at this point but I feel like I should put this out there for those who might be giving up hope. The moment we let go of hope is the moment when all hope is lost. So I'm not giving up on fighting for Social justice reform, police reform, and civil rights and justice for all. One of these days we will get there. It's not going to be easy but in the end we can and will do this together.☺️👍
Thanks for this video. I knew that the EP took a couple years to be enforced but did not know this much detail. All Americans who love freedom should celebrate Juneteenth!
Assalamualaikum peace be upon you yes you know that president Obama is not the first black president it was Abraham Lincoln also they're related small world. So pretty much he free our people. Also he's related Princess Diana yep and George Clooney and George Bush all family
Yes, agreed Mental Slavery is running rampant and it doesn't discriminate in color. To say that African Americans are still slaves in America is a slap in our ancestors face who died and were tortured for our freedom.. They would do soo much more with an ounce of freedom you currently have. There are so many opportunities that they did not have that coincided with actual laws that made it nearly impossible to get out of... If you are contained in mental slavery its now time for you to try and get yourself out of it! Don't think so low of yourself ..yes there's discrimination, racism and ignorance still in America. However the only actual enslaved people are the ones being human trafficked in our country forced to have sex and/or work as servants without pay. (This includes men and women)
Just like she said it's mind conditioning some people didn't want to let it go, some people can't let it go. To sit around now and think that things have changed then why is it that we didn't know about it until now. Because there are people who still don't want you to know the difference of freedom. They trap your mind so that you feel like you can't be free from them. This ain't just physical slavery this is also mental slavery. Stay woke was a saying for a hot minute seems like people are being lured back to sleep. Pass the message along don't be selfish and keep it to yourself. There's someone else out there that needs to hear this.
I enjoy History, and never knew this about the Black Americans, I'm a white man at the age of 55 and think that it is sad to know that all Americans would hold this important piece of History out of the classroom or off the news media, I never even heard the news media say "people all over the world will be gathering tomorrow to celebrate juneteenth in honor of freed Black Americans" SAD
Almost every day now, I learn of another episode of American history - that at one time was hidden from sight. A history that clarifies the unending and unbearable suffering of the Blacks - the only immigrants ever forced to come to this country. The knowledge and increasing awareness of what they suffered is both difficult and painful to realize, and yet, never fails to make one's heart ache. We can be so cruel to one another. I am glad that the Black protests are only seeking justice - for they also have every reasonable justification to seek revenge. But they won't, since they know it far beneath the dignity they have always possessed, though it has not always been acknowledged. I cheer them on, and I actively join in their well-deserved and ever-approaching equality. Thank you for posting this!!
The more that WE spread the word about Juneteenth, the faster word will spread and permeate in all of the states. We cannot expect white supremacy to do this for US.
My dad birthday is Juneteenth he always talks about how important it is to remember our past histories! Very important history here, you presented it well and spot on I must say young lady. 💯
They're nuts. That's way too much power given away. Your people built America and yall checking for the slave holiday? 😂 Maaaann July 4th is the day for the Masters and that's the side of history I choose to stand on
@@AmericanMayan So you submit to the masters holiday? Ok go ahead, but check all the lyrics and history behind the star spangle banner. Some people in Texas just acknowledging the fact that they're ancestors was bamboozled after the fact they were free.
cool. then answer must be that beyond what the General did on the 13th the celebration hasn't been reported in general history. Perhaps just Texas history class like I had Great Plains classes on top of general history
Trump, in his usual fashion, unwittingly promoted this holiday by originally choosing June 19th for his first rally. Had that not happened I never would have heard of this. Wow! Thanks President Dimwit. 👍
My friend said her family was free for years and didn’t even know it... they had no access to the outside world, Mississippi, a visitor told them. You can’t make this stuff up. 🤦🏾♀️
I can't imagine those slaves believing it. Still with the mindset of they'll get in trouble for running. Even scarier: where do they go once freed? They know what was coming with the current slave owner...no idea what the world may do. I can't imagine knowing I have freedom...to die elsewhere? 😥 I know share cropping was the next step, but was going North the only way out with hope?
Lisa Fredell idk if celebration is the remedy currently. It’s like they threw us scrapes of freedom and parade in the streets for what the master has given. Fuck that yoo.
@Merketroid the racist troll. We have a big celebration in Texas every year. Free bar-b-q , at the park, and believe me there were plenty of white people, male and female there. Hispanic too. All were welcomed.
@@1990758 What are you talking about? We are just requesting it to be federally recognized as a national holiday. Literally nobody has asked for handouts.
@@mariagalleriaxi8632 a holiday or another day off with pay for some people not all people most people couldn't even tell you what Labor Day is about let alone Memorial Day
I was looking for a Juneteenth video to share with people and was glad to find this. It’s very informative and I learned something new myself! Thank you for publishing content like this.
I'm black caribbean. We have our version of juneteenth..ours is called folk festival and is a national holiday. They should make it a holiday for America too. When I lived in the midwest, my black american friends who came from the south told me about it. It was amazing to see we had shared traditions.
BWAHAHAHHAHA!! I about lost it when she says, "So.... you thought the Confederate states actually obeyed the law?" I like my history with a little bit of attitude! You go!
@@joelquinn2037 Well, whatever you turn up, you have to ask yourself what you're trying to do with that information. If you're trying to somehow discredit Lincoln, I'd want to know *why*. We all know that "things were different back then" in many ways. But, in judging the men of the period you need to look at who was willing to buck the status quo, which at the time was perfectly OK with the idea of keeping certain men in bondage, and profiting from it. Lincoln is known to have been somewhat conflicted, politically if nothing else. But, unlike his fellow southern Americans, he was willing to use the power of his office to *change* it. They, meaning the southerners, on the other hand, were willing to go to war NOT to change it.
@David Watson When people make comments like these, it drives me insane. *why do you automatically assume that the one black person in the comments section is committing the crime. Jesus fucking christ*
It was my great-grandmother's grandfather Zeno Echoes Jr. started Juneteenth along with help other people in Limestone County. You all should look up the story of the boys who were drowned by the police at a Juneteenth celebration in Mexia Texas.
@@livedsemoc3632 As always bring up Chicago. That play is played out. As soon as people hear that EXCUSE they can accurately predict the next words to come out of your mouth. Stop deflecting that's no longer accepted. Decline!!!
I think, and hope, we're working on a new holiday right now. The moment to enact change is now. I hope we bring down the correct bronze memorials and all the orange Confederate flags and faces!
Thanks for educating me on this important subject. I am living in the USA for over 52 years and have now found out about this. Must pass on to my children and grandchildren.
1990758 do you mean like a college class ? No I didn’t, and tbh history classes were my favorite and hearing about this i think it should be taught in middle school when we learned “American history” I feel like I’m learning a lot more outside of school but been considering going back to college and taking more classes outside the general education classes
I grew up in Ireland so didn't know anything about Juneteenth until our local high school students marched by my house but this video is by far the best explanation!
University would help for all. A good one too where they won't let people sleeping or staring at hotties go unpunished. My history freswhman year throught 4 students in one day who pulled that crap. Said they could be coddled all they wanted in high school but this is the real world.
Exactly why didn't they bring this up long time ago they never bring it up during Black History Month. It was never brought up when Obama was President. If George Floyd what's not murder they wouldn't be talking about this and that's the point everybody is missing
Fredrick Douglas once said slaves and slave owners were bound by the same chain. Meaning the owner was because of his mental slavery to hate and the servant a captive because of it. Truth is liberty which leads to equality.
@China. Did you know Fredrick Douglass was bi-racial. He was OPPRESSED, and your disrespect to a MaN who went through struggles, and yet tried to hold his head to fight for so called Blacks was totally disrespectful. He was still considered a YOU KNOW WHAT although he was of a mixed race. They didn’t make that “1 drop rule” just to be cute. FREDERICK Douglass went through the struggle...for without struggle there is NO progress. You better check yourself and RESPECT your elder trails blazers.
I learned about Juneteenth when I happened to visit the African American Museum here in Los Angeles on a June 19th years ago. This is a great presentation and built up my understanding. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing! It's sad that they don't teach this in school. They don't see anything wrong with showing videos and Books to high schoolers that hold the graphic beatings and lynching of black people. Did they even ask how we felt about seeing that while sitting next to a white friend who happens to be our best bestfriend? Well the way I felt was like I was the scum of the Earth and embarrassed and somehow owned. Those horrible teachings of the white man's history on black people toppled with the bullies I had been dealing with at the time was just overwhelming. Let's just say I am glad I chose life! Thank the Lord!
lol great job sister, you educate with attitude and humor, so many are too busy celebrating pride day, they have no idea about what you are talking about, so sad
@African Union .. Regards las Bête African union blah blah blah. Don't come for me. You're so cliché..one can't step up to defend gays without us being gay. Ya know what's funny. Toi, you're very funny. Next time you step to someone ask where they're from. Before leaving your stupid COMMENTS. 😊✌ #dafuck
We were from the beginning but last to be celebrated because their focus is on making this world a Sodom and Gomorrah than remembering our slave hero's. Me must teach the young ones so 19th June is never forgotten what these people did to black people and would do again, if we gave them the chance.
As a Texan, when I started traveling in the late 80's, I've always wondered why people outside of Texas celebrated Juneteenth... Now I know and understand. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. ❤💜
That’s because nobody alive today was a slave and doesn’t know the history is been so freaking long .. let’s Make a National Native American Day . We don’t need a month. Just a day .. we were also slaves and we also accepted and helped slaves run away and live with us so they could be free. Do the right thing.. it was a liberation day Not a independents . Independence Day is a break away from a country to be self-sufficient. Liberation was to free the slaves.. people believe anything they hear on RUclips or TV
Yes , they never emphasize the Fact that it was African tribe leaders that Traded away their Strongest black men , like property, in exchange for Rum and Sugar .... Our own fellow Africans were the Enablers
@@briandonald8762 History has lied for centuries. Its framework is from viewpoint of victors. Even that word victors is a lie. Speak the truth. Thanks.
the real history: your ancestors over in africa did not have the ability or technology to fight against the slavers and were bought to the U. S. in chains. After being slaves for over two hundred years, a white guy frees you. End of history lesson.
@@juanawashington9940 You left out the real history - BTW, we, I mean all races originated in Africa. My ancestors originated in Europe. They liked slavery cause it made them gloriously wealthy and powerful. Aren't we grand?

July 4th isnt really America's independence day. Just like Emancipation Proclamation isn't slaves independence day. Declaration of Independence was only a declaration. It wasn't reality. Britain didn't recognize that declaration like the Confederacy didn't recognize the Emancipation Proclamation. Freedom is fought for. Thank you for making this video. As a white person, I never learned about Juneteenth until last year.
@v. w. I have a lot to learn about everything. I don't know everything about even one subject. I'm not aware of Black Wall Streets. I do know Tulsa has a history of being extra racist. May I ask why you all caps BLACK AMERICANS? This is my thoughts about naming. It's not right or wrong. I say Blacks like I say Whites. Not African Americans because we dont call some whites Russian American or Nederland or French American or European American. And not all blacks have ancestors from Africa. Nor do I care to say Asian American. Korea, China, Thailand, Malaysia, they all have unique culture and identity. I don't like to bunch it up in just Asian. Like Africa has many cultures. Nigeria, Morocco, Kenya, Namibia. All have their unique culture, why just bunch them up in African Americans. Also, we are all Americans. America is a melting pot. Juneteenth is specifically American. But when talking about black racism as a whole, its world wide. Europe had huge slavery. And yes, they abolished it 30 years before America. Neither did they have such a huge war to do so. Europe also had civil inequality after slavery.
Wow! Thanks for sharing. I just in a department (off brand chain) and saw t-shirt with Juneteenth on it. I didn't by the shirt because I always wanted to know what I'm wearing. I'm 53, really. I have never known any of this. Wow! Be blessed.
I’m a 47 year old white woman married to a Korean man. I had never heard of Juneteenth until my son told me about it. My daughter knows about it too and they couldn’t believe I had never heard of it. I don’t know why I’m surprised it wasn’t taught in school when I was younger. I can’t believe it’s not a national holiday!

I'm GLAD this day is getting much attention, and even being honored by closures by businesses It IS a celebratory event in our countries history. I am a 50+ black women who is very actively engaged culturally, in civic, political and other community, humanitarian and philanthropic organizations. But, sad to say I just heard about Juneteeth in the last few years. And I attended my first Juneteenth celebration last year. I felt it was very sad that I was just hearing about this important event in our history AND that many others were still unfamiliar.
I had heard the word “Juneteenth” a number of years ago, but just thought it was a made-up, nonsensical word. I’m so glad I now know this word has meaning and history behind it!
You did an amazing job explaining Juneteenth. Thank you soooo much young lady. Im 50 years young...lol....I heard about Juneteenth over the years I but did not know exactly what it meant until about a year ago.
You can teach an old dog new stuff! Thank you so much, I really enjoyed this presentation. I am a Canadian and had no idea Juneteenth was a US historical event.
I am a fifty-five year old Canadian, as well, and I am both saddened and not just a little ashamed that I had never heard of Juneteenth until just the other day. So, yeah, "not well known" is quite the understatement...such an important date in US history!
Thank you!!!! ... for the factual (Ha-Ha) information about a "date" many, including myself, are not aware of because of what was hidden from us in the books we read in northern states. This is why knowledge and history are important to those who are struggling; especially when you open your mind to the possibility of change. Please continue, smiles

I'm Native American....thx for the history lesson! Much appreciated!
Native History and Black history should be taught in schools.
@@Rachidasister Great idea
I'm human and this should be taught in school

JUNETEENTH NEED TO BE A FEDERAL HOLIDAY LIKE DECADES AGO!!!!💯💯💯💃💃💃
Is there a snowflake in the thread already?? There is and you know who you are. It just flat out infringes on YOUR rights to include others when others include you ALL the time.
WHITE MAN, WHITE MAN WHAT DO YOU WANT, A BLACK MAN TO TASTE HIS NUT
Fuck juneteenth! Did they pay our people? Then they ain't honoring shit! Quit thinking a statue, a road and a holiday means something cause it don't!
Marie Goddess Juneteenth should be our personal holiday.
@@ladym2668 We are on the subject of the holiday that's why I wrote what I wrote. My views surpass a holiday just so you know
Like Florance said from the Jefferson, " How come we overcame and nobody told me"🤔🤔
daphne jackson right lol
Wow powerful and so true
Lol!!!
Lol 😂
daphne jackson no this quote has shit to do with this!!🤷🏽♂️😑
I have spent years studying "American History" and have NEVER heard mention of Juneteenth. Its a disgrace. This is arguably the moat important day of independence in the countries history and it isn't in a single documentary, textbook, or popular book I have consumed.
I have a new focus on my study of history, and it is a shame it took me so long to desire to fill in the gaps. But if you are not honest, the lie will hurt more than the truth ever will.
Thank you for this amazing piece of American history. I will be celebrating this day right along July 4th.
Try looking in the Black
History books. Because blacks were not written into American History.
I took black history in school
@@anniebullard6354 i will. It should just be American history. It should just be taught with all the rest of history. Its beyond wrong.
The 4th of July is cancelled this year.
My sentiments exactly!
I'm Canadian i never heard about this even in school. We really didn't learnt alot about slavery too.
It saddens me to know that I am just now finding out about this. I majored in history in college. I took black history at Fayetteville State. So much history has been lost. This was extremely informative.
It wasn't meant for you to know
Yes a lot of us family from America they don’t tell us anything about color copper people history only about white history
Imagine being black & going to public schools for 13 years without ever learning this. I just found out about Juneteenth 4 years ago. Schools need to do better.
I know right! School try's to keep it "friendly" but really we need to know the truth!
@@IlliF101 Exactly! They say it's important to learn history so we don't repeat it.... so they need to teach it fully and accurately.
🚲 No big loss.
Exactly, public schools to busy teaching kids how to swap genders instead of real history, math and reading. God help us.
What does being black have to do with it? Please stop separating races, we are all the same.
We have to completely rearrange how we teach children the history of this country because no one ever taught me anything about this in New England back in 1982 onwards. This is clearly messed up. It’s also dangerous to forget or rewrite history because it has a good chance of repeating again and again and again. Black Americans of the Northern, Central, and Southern hemispheres have largely been robbed of their history just as most Native Americans have been. The Jewish Holocaust survivors understood this and have been hammering this point home since the end of WW2. And still there are deniers. It’s still not something many students get to under in a full and intelligent way in public schools. Now try to see how much you don’t truly know about racism when it is taught as a past tense solved problem in school. It’s mind blowing how much we don’t know and how many dark secrets and amazing tales of heroism we’ve yet to discover on a national level.
New information for me today! Almost 59 years of age!
I was 27 when I first heard about "Manzanar" (the internment camp for AMERICANS-- of ASIAN descent during WWII.) I know I missed SOME details when I was in school. But, we are talking entire parallel universes of information! Say whaaaaat??? Someone got some 'splainin' to do here!
Well written.. So much. But one thing remains the hate they have of us.. It’s mind blowing.. I could not live with hate in my heart as it would destroy me.. God must truly love us to endure such madness..
Definitely, this past week I've learned about Harriet Tubman if you don't know who she is, you should definitely look her up.
J. C. They also put Germans in camps too don’t forget that. They put white people in camps if you think asians were being discriminated your wrong. If America went to another world war new people to this country who have not yet assimilated would be put in camps. Sucks living in a great nation that stands behinds it’s people. So sad we protect our own from the dangers of the world. Don’t let globalist shame you
1. Democrat party was the party of slavery
2. Republican party had the first elected black representatives decades before the Democrats had one .
3. Abraham Lincoln ,a republican president who fought to end slavery was killed by J.W. Booth a Democrat .
4. At the end of the civil war ''NO REPUBLICAN'' owed a slave. All 4 million slaves were owned by Democrats .
5. Democrats formed the KKK and were holding all high positions in the organization .
6. Democrats in the majority opposed the 13th, 14th and the 15th amendments .
7. All Jim Crow laws were formulated , promoted and passed by Democrats .
8. Every single piece of civil rights legislation put forward by republicans were voted against by democrats from 1866 to 1966 .. One hundred years !!
Now let's see if they dare teach "Black history '' in schools .. 🤬🤬🤬
I was sitting there in Detroit looking at all these black folks celebrating the Fourth of July but at the same time shaking my head to see the state of my people and not realize how brainwash we are. If we would stop trying to be accepted and start celebrating holidays that benefit us we will go a lot further.
Most black people cook out cause it's a day off work
@Muse Verdant Facts!
Richard Manuel seriously. It’s not that deep. We love cook outs lol and who doesn’t want a day off from work.
If U Don't Know. U Want GROW!!!!
hey JJC JJC it is NOT brain "washing" it is brain CONDITIONING/PROGRAMMING ! it would be a GOOD thing to WASH our brains clean of ALL the bullshit/lies we have been PROGRAMED to believe! i welcome a complete brain WASH PLEASE so i can start over clean!!!
How about the slave masters didn't give a goddamn about that law simple
No, they did... but problem was, the law at that time SUPPORTED them.
I am a Caucasian security guard in Tennessee. After stopping several individuals for setting off low grade fireworks at an apartment complex, I explained that the party and the BBQ was fine. However the fireworks would need to stop. They started to clean up the mess.Thay explained the holiday, and I was happy to look up what they were talking about. Your video was the first one I saw and I watched it with some of the members of the party. We all thought you did a great job in explaining the holiday. They cooked me up a burger and we had a great time befor I had to continue my rounds. Thank you. #PerfectSoapBox
Thank GOD the story is finally being told to the masses. Now all we have to do is update our educational materials so that the entire story is taught in our schools ! !
Yes !
Nobody celebrates Juneteenth like Nassau, Bahamas! I was there years ago on a cruise. The band was in the streets for hours! It was beautiful!
There is a reason that our GOD allows us to go through the horrendous trials and tribulations.
(Read the entire book of Jeremiah, especially the middle chapters and also the 28th Chapter of Deuteronomy).
If we truly are GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE. We have to do things HIS WAY.
FOCUS on GOD--and NOT our problems.
GOD'S message to ALL BELIEVERS IS---and herein lies OUR POWER:
2 CHRONICLES 7:14:
THEN if MY people, who are called by MY NAME [belong to ME], will HUMBLE themselves, if they will PRAY and SEEK ME and stop their evil ways, I will HEAR THEM from heaven. I will FORGIVE their sin, and I will HEAL [RESTORE] their land.
(HE DID IT for the RIGHTEOUS Kings in the OLD TESTAMENT.) (KJV )
(HE can also do it for HIS true believers.)
( EXB) Read also KJV or NKJV.
Juneteenth is a Texas State holiday and should not be a federal holiday. How many of you Israelites had ancestors in brutal slave condition is South Texas area of Houston and Galveston (?) if you didn't shut the heck up.
@@ceegabe1555 the Gospel existed in the days of the enslaved...what difference does it make???
Maybe they were celebrating Labor Day?
Mike Hood My great grand mother was a maid in Bryan Texas. When she would walk to work she was harassed by the land owner. He threatened to shoot her if she crossed his property. The family she worked for bought the land she crossed and gave it to her. He sold the land because it was no good. Funny thing....It was oil on the land. We celebrate juneteenth because we were all the classified as the same and as they say today the struggle was real. Feathers Up!!! My great great great granny insisted she was a Blackfoot.
Didn't know that.. I never celebrated July 4th because I knew everyone didn't get the, "So Call, "Independence." I was close with my reason, but I've learned something new.
Well if we hadn’t have fought for our independence then you wouldn’t of had yours.
I'm a black West Indian and been in the US for over 20 years and this is the 1st I'm actually learning what it means. A shame, but we need to educate ourselves more.
WE ARE ON IT !
Me too another Caribbean here. I had American History in school.
@John LaFever only people who want to live in the past are the racists who had it so good, don't think black people want to live in the past, they just don't want to forget. You seem to want to hide something just like white racists who, on the other hand, what to celebrate and reshape the image of treasonous, racist militia who lost the war. I wonder why?
But you should ask yourself why are they bringing this up now
@@1990758 Why not? It's an important part in American history. Everyone needs to know about it. The Jews know everything about their history. Why not now?
I'm really glad and thankful for people caring enough to inform and educate people like me on this important event. I've always tried my best to learn from others and grow as both as an individual and as a member of society. I myself have been fairly luck with what people say about my Hispanic heritage and sexual orientation but I have met some nasty people. But I can always tell on the people of different communities for some type of encouragement and support. And I know I'm just rambling on at this point but I feel like I should put this out there for those who might be giving up hope. The moment we let go of hope is the moment when all hope is lost. So I'm not giving up on fighting for Social justice reform, police reform, and civil rights and justice for all. One of these days we will get there. It's not going to be easy but in the end we can and will do this together.☺️👍
Amen
Thanks for this video. I knew that the EP took a couple years to be enforced but did not know this much detail. All Americans who love freedom should celebrate Juneteenth!
And slavery still happening just in a more upscale fashion
Nickesha Rehedul ...YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!!
@Dra O did u take ur self out of the place of slavery share dont keep it to urself
Assalamualaikum peace be upon you yes you know that president Obama is not the first black president it was Abraham Lincoln also they're related small world. So pretty much he free our people. Also he's related Princess Diana yep and George Clooney and George Bush all family
Yes, agreed Mental Slavery is running rampant and it doesn't discriminate in color. To say that African Americans are still slaves in America is a slap in our ancestors face who died and were tortured for our freedom.. They would do soo much more with an ounce of freedom you currently have. There are so many opportunities that they did not have that coincided with actual laws that made it nearly impossible to get out of... If you are contained in mental slavery its now time for you to try and get yourself out of it! Don't think so low of yourself ..yes there's discrimination, racism and ignorance still in America. However the only actual enslaved people are the ones being human trafficked in our country forced to have sex and/or work as servants without pay. (This includes men and women)
@Gaz Roberts umm explain please??
Juneteenth is black people's fourth of July. So why do some of us not recognize it?
This year is the first time hearing of it
Just like she said it's mind conditioning some people didn't want to let it go, some people can't let it go. To sit around now and think that things have changed then why is it that we didn't know about it until now. Because there are people who still don't want you to know the difference of freedom. They trap your mind so that you feel like you can't be free from them. This ain't just physical slavery this is also mental slavery. Stay woke was a saying for a hot minute seems like people are being lured back to sleep. Pass the message along don't be selfish and keep it to yourself. There's someone else out there that needs to hear this.
Hey I'm with you but let's see how many fireworks go off on that day
Busy celebrating the 4th like any other American. 🤷🏾
Just heard of this.
I don’t necessarily celebrate it because I don’t feel as though I’m free.
I enjoy History, and never knew this about the Black Americans, I'm a white man at the age of 55 and think that it is sad to know that all Americans would hold this important piece of History out of the classroom or off the news media, I never even heard the news media say "people all over the world will be gathering tomorrow to celebrate juneteenth in honor of freed Black Americans" SAD
"Some slaves ducked out before he finished speaking" That would have been me, let me get my hat.
"Let me get my hat", lol! (That killed me)😂 I wouldn't even remember the hat 🤣🤣
Lol I'd leave my Hat & get th
Step'n. 😉🤓😎Quick as Possible.

Hmmmf!
As long as it isn't an oversized (blood red) one!!
Almost every day now, I learn of another episode of American history - that at one time was hidden from sight. A history that clarifies the unending and unbearable suffering of the Blacks - the only immigrants ever forced to come to this country. The knowledge and increasing awareness of what they suffered is both difficult and painful to realize, and yet, never fails to make one's heart ache. We can be so cruel to one another. I am glad that the Black protests are only seeking justice - for they also have every reasonable justification to seek revenge. But they won't, since they know it far beneath the dignity they have always possessed, though it has not always been acknowledged. I cheer them on, and I actively join in their well-deserved and ever-approaching equality. Thank you for posting this!!
The more that WE spread the word about Juneteenth, the faster word will spread and permeate in all of the states. We cannot expect white supremacy to do this for US.
I fail to see the "amusement" in your response. Yet I AM amused that you DEVILS are dying in record numbers. "LOL!"
Thank you❤💯
My dad birthday is Juneteenth he always talks about how important it is to remember our past histories! Very important history here, you presented it well and spot on I must say young lady. 💯

They're nuts. That's way too much power given away. Your people built America and yall checking for the slave holiday? 😂 Maaaann July 4th is the day for the Masters and that's the side of history I choose to stand on
@@AmericanMayan So you submit to the masters holiday? Ok go ahead, but check all the lyrics and history behind the star spangle banner. Some people in Texas just acknowledging the fact that they're ancestors was bamboozled after the fact they were free.
cool. then answer must be that beyond what the General did on the 13th the celebration hasn't been reported in general history. Perhaps just Texas history class like I had Great Plains classes on top of general history
Trump, in his usual fashion, unwittingly promoted this holiday by originally choosing June 19th for his first rally. Had that not happened I never would have heard of this. Wow! Thanks President Dimwit. 👍
This young Lady explain Junteen so well, that it should be a National Holiday, keep up the good work

My friend said her family was free for years and didn’t even know it... they had no access to the outside world, Mississippi, a visitor told them. You can’t make this stuff up. 🤦🏾♀️
Woww thats cray
I can't imagine those slaves believing it. Still with the mindset of they'll get in trouble for running. Even scarier: where do they go once freed? They know what was coming with the current slave owner...no idea what the world may do. I can't imagine knowing I have freedom...to die elsewhere? 😥 I know share cropping was the next step, but was going North the only way out with hope?
That happened a lot.
Ooohhhh my God 😥😔😖
Response Reparations smh....
And thank you for the education. I will from now on celebrate this very important day.
Lisa Fredell idk if celebration is the remedy currently. It’s like they threw us scrapes of freedom and parade in the streets for what the master has given. Fuck that yoo.
@Merketroid Fried chicken taste good.The Scottish invented it...the slaves added the seasoning to it.

I'm black caribbean. We have our version of juneteenth..ours is called folk festival and is a national holiday. They should make it a holiday for America too.

They will never keep the laws and commandments
Lincoln only freed the slaves in the south. He did NOT free his own slaves nor did he free the slaves in the north.
@@joelquinn2037 Abraham Lincoln did not own slaves. Perhaps other people in his family did, but Abe himself did not.
From my understanding he did but I research further
@@joelquinn2037 Well, whatever you turn up, you have to ask yourself what you're trying to do with that information. If you're trying to somehow discredit Lincoln, I'd want to know *why*. We all know that "things were different back then" in many ways. But, in judging the men of the period you need to look at who was willing to buck the status quo, which at the time was perfectly OK with the idea of keeping certain men in bondage, and profiting from it. Lincoln is known to have been somewhat conflicted, politically if nothing else. But, unlike his fellow southern Americans, he was willing to use the power of his office to *change* it. They, meaning the southerners, on the other hand, were willing to go to war NOT to change it.
I through A crazy big party. We laugh cry and rejoice. Now we got to free ourselves from prison
The freedom starts with the spirit first....know thyself
That's easy, stop committing crimes!

I think, and hope, we're working on a new holiday right now. The moment to enact change is now. I hope we bring down the correct bronze memorials and all the orange Confederate flags and faces!
My birthday is June 19th that would be great

1990758 do you mean like a college class ? No I didn’t, and tbh history classes were my favorite and hearing about this i think it should be taught in middle school when we learned “American history” I feel like I’m learning a lot more outside of school but been considering going back to college and taking more classes outside the general education classes

Fredrick Douglas once said slaves and slave owners were bound by the same chain. Meaning the owner was because of his mental slavery to hate and the servant a captive because of it. Truth is liberty which leads to equality.
Frederick Douglas has no place with Black People as he was married to a white woman.
It's not about the color of the skin but by the content of your character.
@@chinablanco8787 What a dumb statement.
@China. Did you know Fredrick Douglass was bi-racial. He was OPPRESSED, and your disrespect to a MaN who went through struggles, and yet tried to hold his head to fight for so called Blacks was totally disrespectful. He was still considered a YOU KNOW WHAT although he was of a mixed race. They didn’t make that “1 drop rule” just to be cute. FREDERICK Douglass went through the struggle...for without struggle there is NO progress. You better check yourself and RESPECT your elder trails blazers.
I learned about Juneteenth when I happened to visit the African American Museum here in Los Angeles on a June 19th years ago. This is a great presentation and built up my understanding. Thank you.

Clear and distinctly. Thanks sister.
Thank you for sharing! It's sad that they don't teach this in school. They don't see anything wrong with showing videos and Books to high schoolers that hold the graphic beatings and lynching of black people. Did they even ask how we felt about seeing that while sitting next to a white friend who happens to be our best bestfriend? Well the way I felt was like I was the scum of the Earth and embarrassed and somehow owned. Those horrible teachings of the white man's history on black people toppled with the bullies I had been dealing with at the time was just overwhelming. Let's just say I am glad I chose life! Thank the Lord!

We were from the beginning but last to be celebrated because their focus is on making this world a Sodom and Gomorrah than remembering our slave hero's. Me must teach the young ones so 19th June is never forgotten what these people did to black people and would do again, if we gave them the chance.

SPREAD THE WORD !!!
So much history we dont know: The real history.
That’s because nobody alive today was a slave and doesn’t know the history is been so freaking long .. let’s Make a National Native American Day . We don’t need a month. Just a day .. we were also slaves and we also accepted and helped slaves run away and live with us so they could be free. Do the right thing.. it was a liberation day Not a independents . Independence Day is a break away from a country to be self-sufficient. Liberation was to free the slaves.. people believe anything they hear on RUclips or TV
Yes , they never emphasize the Fact that it was African tribe leaders that Traded away their Strongest black men , like property, in exchange for Rum and Sugar .... Our own fellow Africans were the Enablers
@@briandonald8762 History has lied for centuries. Its framework is from viewpoint of victors. Even that word victors is a lie. Speak the truth. Thanks.
the real history: your ancestors over in africa did not have the ability or technology to fight against the slavers and were bought to the U. S. in chains. After being slaves for over two hundred years, a white guy frees you. End of history lesson.
@@juanawashington9940 You left out the real history - BTW, we, I mean all races originated in Africa.

July 4th isnt really America's independence day. Just like Emancipation Proclamation isn't slaves independence day.
Declaration of Independence was only a declaration. It wasn't reality. Britain didn't recognize that declaration like the Confederacy didn't recognize the Emancipation Proclamation.
Freedom is fought for.
Thank you for making this video. As a white person, I never learned about Juneteenth until last year.
@v. w. I have a lot to learn about everything. I don't know everything about even one subject.
I'm not aware of Black Wall Streets. I do know Tulsa has a history of being extra racist.
May I ask why you all caps BLACK AMERICANS?
This is my thoughts about naming. It's not right or wrong.
I say Blacks like I say Whites. Not African Americans because we dont call some whites Russian American or Nederland or French American or European American. And not all blacks have ancestors from Africa.
Nor do I care to say Asian American. Korea, China, Thailand, Malaysia, they all have unique culture and identity. I don't like to bunch it up in just Asian. Like Africa has many cultures. Nigeria, Morocco, Kenya, Namibia. All have their unique culture, why just bunch them up in African Americans.
Also, we are all Americans. America is a melting pot.
Juneteenth is specifically American. But when talking about black racism as a whole, its world wide. Europe had huge slavery. And yes, they abolished it 30 years before America. Neither did they have such a huge war to do so. Europe also had civil inequality after slavery.
WookbooK
Good to hear, please keep on learning. Folks hating weather you interested or not. 💕🇺🇸
Wow! Thanks for sharing. I just in a department (off brand chain) and saw t-shirt with Juneteenth on it. I didn't by the shirt because I always wanted to know what I'm wearing. I'm 53, really. I have never known any of this. Wow! Be blessed.
Because its bs
I’m a 47 year old white woman married to a Korean man. I had never heard of Juneteenth until my son told me about it. My daughter knows about it too and they couldn’t believe I had never heard of it. I don’t know why I’m surprised it wasn’t taught in school when I was younger. I can’t believe it’s not a national holiday!
A lot of people know about it but they're bringing it out now because of what happened 3 weeks ago think about it
I’m from the south and my family always celebrated Juneteenth 🙏🏽❤️
Fun fact: June 19th is my birthday 😌
Happy Birthday
That’s prob the best birthday date!
Happy birthday remember it's not about the presents it's about God let you live another year some people didn't make it to their birthday
AWESOME 🎂
Thanks I didn’t know what this holiday was
I never knew their was a celebrated holiday that is messed up. A lot of black people are not taught their history in america.
I don't know the origins fo Oktoberfest, so there's a failure on our end, too.

@@mikethebike2456 what...stop smokin! Put down the pipe.
I learned something new today, thanks.
I never had a full explanation about Juneteenth until now thank you for giving us more information on this subject
I live in Richmond California I grew up in the 80s. The Juneteenth Festival was one of the biggest festivals in Richmond. Now there is no Juneteenth Festival what happened to our Fest we're going to go why is it at anyone celebrating it anymore I guess we just got pushed aside 4 Cinco de Mayo.
BOOM.
In Miami we had a festival called da goombay ah Bahamian thing dey stopped it but dey still have Calle ohco.
I learned a few years back about this holiday, this the first year I’m celebrating
love the comments and the history shared. wish it was the enslaved Afrikans were referenced as Enslaved Afrikans; not just 'slaves'. Great information!!!
We are the Israelites, not the Hammite Africans
...i am an advocate also for using the term "enslaved"...gret point...!

Hi Terri, I'm a advocate for saying, free people that were enslaved. I don't used the terminology slaves were captured or on ships. To me it's always people who were free and was forced to be enslaved.
Necesitamos unidad con nuestra gente hoy en dia!
I'm GLAD this day is getting much attention, and even being honored by closures by businesses It IS a celebratory event in our countries history. I am a 50+ black women who is very actively engaged culturally, in civic, political and other community, humanitarian and philanthropic organizations. But, sad to say I just heard about Juneteeth in the last few years. And I attended my first Juneteenth celebration last year. I felt it was very sad that I was just hearing about this important event in our history AND that many others were still unfamiliar.
WOWWWW...."to commemorate the blood that spilled during slavery"....powerful
Great content‼️❤ As up to now June of 2021 Louisiana is now honored to announced🎉🎉 Juneteenth is now officially a state holiday‼️🎊
I had heard the word “Juneteenth” a number of years ago, but just thought it was a made-up, nonsensical word. I’m so glad I now know this word has meaning and history behind it!
I found out about Juneteenth in 2018 because of a social event in Atlanta. I’m so sad about this . It should definitely be taught in history books.
Never knew till now! Thank you!
You did an amazing job explaining Juneteenth. Thank you soooo much young lady. Im 50 years young...lol....I heard about Juneteenth over the years I but did not know exactly what it meant until about a year ago.
Girl yasssss. Love this 🙏🏾
You can teach an old dog new stuff! Thank you so much, I really enjoyed this presentation. I am a Canadian and had no idea Juneteenth was a US historical event.
I am a fifty-five year old Canadian, as well, and I am both saddened and not just a little ashamed that I had never heard of Juneteenth until just the other day. So, yeah, "not well known" is quite the understatement...such an important date in US history!
Something they didn’t teach in school
Thank you!!!! ... for the factual (Ha-Ha) information about a "date" many, including myself, are not aware of because of what was hidden from us in the books we read in northern states. This is why knowledge and history are important to those who are struggling; especially when you open your mind to the possibility of change. Please continue, smiles
Very informative, happy I came across this information concerning my history. 💗💗💗
I just recently found out about Juneteenth. How many days do people celebrate it for? I have heard up to five days.
I’m embarrassed I didn’t know this sooner. Think Trump was just told. Not that he cares
I sense a white liberal mother who doesn't let her kids play with toy guns and sleeps in bed with her 13 year old son. Just sayin....
...thank u for sharing this precious info...amen...!!!
Lol! No hay problema! (No worries!) Me lo entendiste tu mensaje o punto. (I understood what you was trying to say). It's all good, at least you know something. I have some friends who doesn't even know how to say milk in spanish. Lol!
Que tengas una semana bendecida! (Have a blessed week!)

Chao!
Love to have learned about this in school....some 25 years ago. Good video.
From New Zealand, thank you for informing me. I stand behind black lives matter and pray that change will really come. I personally am part Maori (our indigenous race) but look pretty much white. I married a Samoan man over 35 years ago and witnessed the predjuce people had against him and against me for being with him. Things have gotten better here over 35 years but there are still a few who just can't see. Real understanding can take a long time coming. I hope America's time has come.
