The background music is absolutely terrible

You right
At the end of day we are still not free think about it
Thanks for this!!!!! its a shame people will complain and criticize other that finding the good in something 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Hard to listen to this video with the music so loud. It needs to be toned down quite a bit.
💯
It doesn't matter anyway😂
Anyone else finding the background music distracting and unfitting?
When are we gonna see a Native American president ?
To be a president in America, you need to be American.
Gotta fight for it like my people continue to push for equality!! Close mouths don’t get fed

The problem with this video is it says there is a ongoing struggle against racism as if that is even an major issue facing minorities in this decade.
I'm black & I hate how they're victimizing us.
If someone is racist and its bothering you, how about you just ignore them ?
I personally would love to meet a racist and have a discussion to figure out why they are that way.
Yup
Today is a better day than yesterday.. lots of work to do. Happy Juneteenth!
Native American Indian genocide 1492-????, Black man crowding in front of the Native American again!!! History will remember.
I'm thrilled that it was made a federal holiday!😊
What more do black people want jesus
@You TubeSucks but that month is not really treated as anything special we get no time off or paid leave or anything as other special days got like July 4th
@You TubeSucks wdym this is the bare minimum every literal thing has a month but something as important as the end of centuries of slavery deserves a day
The background music is really loud and distracting from whta the professor is saying. What a bummer.

America Celebrates Juneteenth, The Day Republicans Freed All The Democrats' Slaves
@@FireBladeRR-RSPso why are Republicans trying to preserve the statues of slave owners and why are so the Republican still flying the Confederate flag I'm going to assume that you're not dumb but it's really hard to when you make statements like this
@@afrolore7462 snowflake… trying to erase what was the norm around the world 175-250 years ago is just idiotic.
All creeds and races had slaves including Africans.. do some research… times change… slavery was abolished by Republicans from the Democrats plantation… your worried about a confederate flag?? Wow … maybe you should go to your safe room and wait for some reparations… since you are currently still a slave and victim…
You people are really brainwashed…
BTW the original post is 100% correct but obviously it hurt your feelings..
Just another way to promote racism if you think about it
@The Janitor Yep!
That's your own choices.
Thank You Republicans especially ALL the fallen ones like President Lincoln for winning in 1865 & enacting the Emancipation Proclamation, 13th, 14th & 15th Amendments💥✨💫🌟⭐
America could be a much better place today, if all white Americans had given equal opportunity for all black people since the first day of abolition ... but they didn’t. Now it’s what it’s... never is to late ☮️
They know. That’s why they hate talking about anything related to black people.
The emancipation proclamation only freed slaves in confederate states. The union used the term "indentured servant" to hold on to their slaves until 1872, seven years later than the south. History Channel won't tell the full story.
The 13th Amendment rendered indentured servitude illegal in the entire country in 1865. It is true that the Emancipation Proclamation didn't free Northern slaves but I don't see why that would be a reason to not celebrate a holiday based around slaves being freed. I don't take people seriously when they claim that the fact that there were slave owning founding fathers permanently tarnishes America, it's just as ridiculous to claim we shouldn't celebrate the freedom of former slaves because the choices made by Lincoln or other union leaders
@@Shivemaster so you agree that the more important date of the Emancipation Proclamation or the thirteen amendment should be celebrated? Thanks. Those dates are January 1st 1863 and December 6th 1865. Or the fact that 360,000 white people died freeing the black slaves? Juneteenth is a small part of the history but to ignore important history is a shame. Subd it's because Lincoln was a republican and democrats can't stand that.
Yup they only tell you what they want us to know.. there’s stuff still hidden, we still dont know everything. 💯 F- Lincoln too he wasn’t right either idc what he supposedly did
"And encourages them to learn more about africam american history"
When President Biden made it a national Holiday i felt i needed to learn what it is. So yeah, you nailed it
same here.
Exactly! History in the making.
Smh. Ya’ll are so blind. Trump tried to do this a while ago and you act like Biden is some black American savior. The dude is more racist than trump. It’s just sad that you guys don’t care about black history until King Biden suddenly starts caring.

What you mean by the end of slavery did not travel to Texas. Correction, the slaves were not told by their owners that slavery was over. They hid the truth for TWO years. This right here blows me. 1. She’s a Historian. 2. She left out key points. 3. She just said, “the end of slavery did not travel to Texas. 5. That right there is confusion and miseducation. 6. Someone would run with that and tell others that slavery was over and did not travel to Texas. So keep people in slavery was not their fault. What number am I at? Anyway, I forgot because this is laughable. This is why we celebrate Juneteenth, for the freed two years later after slavery was abolished. For civil rights, brown vs. board of education, Jim Crow laws, the Black Wall Street, Emmett Till, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Marcus Garvey…just to name a few. Shoot, we were still in slavery until the 70s with segregation, redlining, keep blacks from jobs, and benefits in poverty; it’s sad. TELL THE TRUTH!!!!
YESSSSSSS!!
Exactly. Is this something to “celebrate”? It’s horrible. Idk how I feel about it all. Ados have other significant days to commemorate. Bittersweet
Yes….two years. The news came from the Emancipation Proclamation, which was written in 1863. Slaveowners hid this knowledge for two years until the enslaved found out….in 1865, as said in the video. Wow, math is cool
@@CA-zf5kk how is the knowledge of freedom horrible?
We were still enslaved in Delaware and Kentucky until December of that year.
There’s no freedom unless all people are free…be mindful of this
The music is too loud.
I think the narrative that Enslaved Africans didn't know they they were free as opposed to the fact they were held hostage by enslavers in defiance of the law. The military was required to free them and enforce the law of their freedom. Black people were informed of their freedom but restricted from exercising their freedom.
Music too dame loud!!!!!
Yes it is it just don't below on the video
@@MotivatedMiawhat does that even mean?
Don't forget... you have Democrats to thank for your oppression

Juneteenth is such a step backwards.
She should have mentioned the brave Generals name that traveled for months to let everyone know that slavery was abolished.

A little better history lesson about what actually happened on June 19th but it still doesn't make sense as a national holiday. Simply a gesture to show something is being done for the black community when nothing is actually being done
is better the nothing i guess...
What actually been done for the Black American community besides passing of the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments?
I think making it a national holiday is an important step. It can keep that piece of our history in the collective minds of Americans, or bring it to the forefront every year (same as July 4th or maybe less-so thanksgiving)
I hope it helps to change hearts and minds to bring about more systematic change or potential reparations.
And nothing will be "done" except these days and events will be made to highlight a reason your not achieving your dreams.
I would be insulted if someone labeled me as different because of the color of my skin.. if someone said to me .. "well your black and you know your ancestors were treated terrible.. by these other people.. so you need me to make it fair to you.. vote for me!.." that's what it is today.. your a victim and I want to fight for you.
Your not a victim.. you can have anything and everything you want provided you work for it, have the right attitude and a little luck helps.
Your heart is what makes you who you are .. not the color of your skin.
@@mikemccormack3997 Yeah. Your not a victim alright. Good thing HS diplomas aren’t required for YT comments.
I understand the value that all men/women should be free and I pray for that, the only reason this administration made it a holiday though is two reasons: another paid day off for them and to try to divide us more with the race card
How cynical. Although it is important to be critical of government and this administration, it serves to give credit where credit is due. This wasn’t this administrations attempt at division but a call to reflect on the past and honor it’s parallels to the present struggle for equality.
That being said, June 19th should also be a day remind to continue to press harder on those in all levels of government and in ourselves to bring us closer to change.
I double what a lot of others have said - audio is a struggle to hear you over and I know someone with bad headphones wouldn't hear you one bit.
Otherwise, thank you for discussing this topic and explaining more about it's origins and history.

Also didnt the Egyptions use slaves? Jews? Romans? Indians? Aztecs?....wasnt like its been uncommon in history.
true... but i guess in the face of the then newly formed U.S.A. with it's BRAND NEW experiment of the U.S. constitution which clearly touted FREEDOM and LIBERTY, made this case of slavery a slightly more UNCOMMON wouldn't you agree???????
That had European slaves even after slavery in America..
Time is a flat circle
Are you proposing a holiday for their freedom too?
The uncommon thing we did is the first democractic republic to abolish slavery.
Well put.
As a member of a minority, I am always proud of what my ancestors did to give me the opportunity for a better life. My grandparents went through a lot of difficulties. My father never graduated high school to help support the family. My mother put off education to help too but eventually went back to night school to become a nurse. I worked all kinds of hours so my son could get a college degree and be better than me.
Looking back is a good reminder of what our parents went through but staying in the past only hinders the next generation's ability to move forward.
"...staying in the past only hinders the next generation's ability to move forward." So we should really stop this whole 4th of July nonsense, am I right about it? Honestly, those Confederate flags and statues need to go, because, they're all about the past, aren't they? We should get rid of this Veteran's Day thing too, because that's all in the past. That 9/11 thing? Never remember that anymore.
It's really funny how the demand to forget the past never seems to apply to White America.
ForzaJersey beautiful!!!
You are not a member of a minority. Show me the land of Minority. You are a member of the African race.

Everyone has their own history , their lineage and after covid19 I had questions about my linage , because my family is very small, it's not huge like some, I look Hispanic and treated Hispanic , but I'm much more than Hispanic ,I was born in a racist town in Texas and they hid some things, because they were afraid their children would be treated different , I just found out at 60 yrs old what my fathers linage was, a military Spaniard came from the Canary Islands and he had a woman that was a slave with him , she was not a slave to him ,she was more like a guide to him, and when his wife could not have anymore children , he started having children with her and that's why my DNA shows Portuguese and sub-Saharan African , the small Texas town would make all the black people eat outside in the back of a restaurant and when my father had me , he wanted to move , but I was still treated differently no matter where we moved , I looked alittle like her, I still don't know her name, and no one will tell me , when I save money , I want to go into that town and ask questions , the Hispanics and others that are white skin , are still racist
Greeks , Albanians , Itailians did not arrive to the United States until 1888 and 1920's slavery was abolished by then which means not all white Europeans owned blacks as slaves! I feel very strong about this because I'm Greek and a lot of people think all Europeans owned slaves.
lactose intolerant We east europeans were enslaved by the ottomans. I am Serbian, and we have nothing to apologize for, ouserlves were enslaved.
I'm Italian my ancestors had nothing to do with it.
Largest percentage of slaves were in the Caribbean.
No they dont.
Juneteenth does not represent the end of slavery in America, as it is often erroneously reported. It specifically notes the end of slavery in Texas. Slavery continued to thrive in several border states that were not affected by the Emancipation Proclamation. Delaware was the last to free its nearly 2,000 slaves on Dec. 6, 1865, six months after Texas.
I haven’t fact checked you nor will I. I trust my distrust for your fact checking prowess, but you could have said, it really kinda doesn’t mean much if it’s bound to mean so much of so many different things compounded into a random over politicized holiday - mind you: Juneteenth Independence Day. Which is contradictory, Juneteenth claims the slavery endured around the borders of the Union. In Texas no less. Independence from? Independence from the constitution?

Juneteenth fact by Fred X,
There’s two parts of slavery , physical and mental, and the passage of law making Juneteenth a federal holiday represented the physical part of slavery. But the mental part of slavery didn’t end until 2019 when black people knew enough information as a whole to declare being woke- so go back and reconsider Juneteenth Blackfolk and representatives of them.
How about some appreciation to all of the white men who died fighting to end slavery!!! NEVER hear nuttin bout that do we!!!!!
Yeah we do.
Why are you offended by the end of slavery? 😂😂
O K offended? How long has it been over? Ur victim mentality should be over too.
@@ryanroberts010 It's been over 250 years since America declared Independence. They should just get over it.
they died for a good cause. and they wouldn't have to die fighting for the abolishment of slavery if their ancestors hadn't enslaved people for the color of their skin to begin with.
Without slavery in America, black people would never have come here. They should be thankful that it existed
Juneteenth is not just black history it's U.S. history anyone can learn about it and get involved in activities and events all over the country.
“Juneteenth” sounds like a failure of the black educational system. June 19 wasn’t when slavery was abolished in all states since there were still slaves up until December 6, 1865 in Delaware & Kentucky when the 13th Amendment was ratified. * TEXAS * appropriately celebrates Juneteenth, but if the purpose of adding a * Federal * holiday is to pick a day where slavery was abolished in *ALL* of the states, then it should’ve been December 6. Juneteenth is a fail.
Does it have something to do with June 19th being the day that celebration has taken place for past 100+ years?

If you were born free and not a slave then you shouldn't celebrate such an asinine celebration.
She said Juneteenth was a day for celebration for slaves in the south, but when she said " the fight for civil rights continues to this day ", she lost me.
There is nothing preventing anyone, black or white or any other color, of succeeding in life. The " freedom " word doesn't mean that people have a right to do as they wish regardless of the law, everyone has to abide by the laws of this land.
IMO the ones who still hang onto this 'struggle ' identity are the ones who are keeping racism alive, keeping peace from setting in place, mostly because of money. We see activists in front of cameras every day, but if there wasn't anything in it for them, they wouldn't be there. Think about that the next time you see an activist yelling racism into a mic. God put us all on this earth, and no one can move forward if they're pulling a load of the past with them...
Juneteenth should be just an Texas holiday
True! Like Texas is not part of America rite?
Slavery ended in the South on Juneteenth but continued in the North until the 13th amendment 6 months later... The emancipation proclamation did not apply to the North. It's really just a Texas related holiday not sure why we chose it as a national holiday from a history perspective and this video didn't help.
Lots of misinformation out there relating to this, most is because so many people tell different stories that it is tough to remember what is true and what is false. Reinventing history seems to be hip these days.
@@uncledude9424 lmao
In truth, Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation did not free any slaves in the South because He had no authority in the South. To prove the point, I live in the State of Maryland. Lincoln allowed slave owners in the "border" States such as Maryland to keep their slaves after 1863. It wasn't until the 13th Amendment that ALL slaves were free. It was a political move to keep England from formally recognizing the Confederacy as a sovereign country. England's society had a great disdain for slavery, and as a result the English people would not support their government to align themselves with a country where slavery was still practiced.
A editor for a leading black magazine wrote a book a few years ago called,"Thrust into Glory". He came to the conclusion that Lincoln was not the great Emancipator many state as fact today. His research completely changed his view as to who Lincoln really was, a man, not a noble saint . A great man, but a man with all the faults we all share.
Dude, why didn't you watch the entire presentation? She specifically said that slavery ended on January 1, 1865.
Good history point.
@@billybobkumar9231 Among several mistakes in her video. Lovely narration, but wrong on several facts. The 13th Amendment was adopted in the Constitution when passed by 3/4 of the States in Dec 1865.
Lincoln was a man of his time, operating in a complicated political system. Before his election, Lincoln made it clear his feelings on slavery, although he didn't know what to do about it. Would Emancipation have occurred in that time period without Lincoln? Doubtful.
What happened to the "nine" between "June" and "teenth"? Juneteenth could be any day from June 13th through June 19th. DUH
Most holidays have names that don’t directly denote the exact day (Presidents’ Day for example). Juneteenth is just It’s name… did you really think everyone but you forgot to put a “nine”…..?

I don’t care what anyone says the Indian’s got it the worst....When was the last time you saw two Indian standing next to each other?
The Native Americans we know today are not the same indigenous people who raped, pillaged and tortured. They were black. The Native Americans today are from the Europeans who came over through Mexico to get those tax breaks and free land. Now of course this is just a rough generalization look into the Gullah wars or the Seminole wars and the geechee people for more information.
The American history that is widely taught is bad enough but when you look into what REALLY happened you realize we’re being told lies and is much worse. I honestly think of more people knew our true history we wouldn’t have the problems we have today.

Worth mentioning that the Union Army brought the news to all peoples still enslaved. Thousands of people died to ensure this freedom. Freedom for slaves became the law of the land April 8, 1864 and January 31 1865 when it became the 13 amendment of the Constitution. Why not celebrate freedom on the Law giving Day?
I agree with your thoughtful sentiment, but the 13th Amendment did not become law of the land until Dec 6, 1865 when it was ratified by the required 3/4 States.

Israel was long gone in 1620.
Typical America, another day to get paid to not work.
Re the start of this video. The Emancipation Proclamation wasn’t signed in 1863. It was signed on September 22, 1862. It went into effect 1/1/1863. It is a cornerstone in the destruction of the institution of slavery. Tens of thousands of men had already died so that this document could be signed. It is the foundation of this video. It’s worth getting right.
I hope every household commentates Juneteenth as a special holiday.

On the first-ever national holiday this happened to me: Target run early morning, got 9-11 items in the cart, I walked away from the cart to the next isle to grab cheese ..1 min max, next thing I see 2 African American woman clearing out my items from my cart to the adjacent shelf and walking away with my cart. So I confronted them asking did they just took my cart, 1 of them was like " YOU left it unattended, so I took it, you white man!"..... so much for Juneteenth
It brings tears to my eyes to know,as an American,that the nation,finally advanced to the end of slavery,at that time.If they could advance the principles of Freedom 160 years ago,do we still have what takes to continue on that path today?Still more lives lost then,than all our other wars combined.
Awwww
Hmmm are you ill? Last time I checked we didn't have slaves.
Deuteronomy 7:6
[6]For thou art an holy people vnto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people vnto himselfe, aboue all people that are vpon the face of the earth.
biggest mistake we ever made was ending slavery cause look what it got us.
@@jonpitts1978 are you slow?
Who owned slaves?
So now they can give up Black History Month.
Cry more
Somebody let the sound editor off his leash for this one- very loud background music-
What's the word, Thunderbird, Who drinks the most, colored folks!
I thought it was the Russians or the Irish?
The 13th Amendment was passed in the House on January 31, but the torturous process of getting it ratified by the States wasn’t completed until December 6, 1865, making that the date that Emancipation went into effect for all US States. That’s two substantial mistakes or omissions in the first minute of the video. A top like this is too important for a Professor to manage facts so stupidly. It’s an invitation to scorn by those who don’t support legal equality under the law for all.
I wonder if y’all tell the Jews to get over the Holocaust as much as y’all tell us to get over Slavery
Thank you Professor Chatelain, I plan to show this video to my class. This day should have been declared a national holiday a long time ago.
Make sure you educate them on the DEMOCRATS role in slavery.
make sure you show Birth of a Nation too then
I think it's very fitting this holiday takes place at he very end of spring going into summer, one of the longest days of the year. Expansion, growth, freedom, light, self expression.
Not knowing the background this was Interesting but I read more and my question is why wasn't January 31st made a National Holiday already when that was the day the 13th Amendment was actually passed? Very very sad what happened I'm Texas but for a National Holiday shouldn't it reflect the National day of freedom?
because the government wants to destroy fmilies by mitigating fathers out of the family and weakening the family,
This video is nicely narrated, but has several wrong/incomplete facts. The 13th Amendment didn’t go into effect until ratified by the required 3/4 of States on Dec 6, 1865. As a practical matter, our calendar is packed with holidays between Thanksgiving and MLK Day. Juneteenth got the nod.
Rediculous, we're all Just Americans. Red white and blue are the only colors we should celebrate.
Why do you think this just because we are all Americans doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate this holiday. It sad to think people like you are calling this
Ridiculous you spelled that one wrong. This holiday comes from a time when other races weren’t together and I think more people should celebrate this holiday
That background music needs to go!
Juneteenth reminds us of several dates in a timeline. Makes zero sense.
The discussion in the comments is about the sounds in the backround rather than the significance of Juneteenth 🤦🏾♂️
Hey History channel what about that time in the 1600s when Africa took over 1 million European slaves?
I believe the title states what the video is about.
@@mznaturallyfit 👏 bravo.
Stop living in the past and live in god
Then we need nopt celebrate The fourth of July, Easter, Christmas or any other holiday if this is your logic.
Amen brother
✨God isn't just your quick fix✨
Great video, but the music in the background makes it difficult to fully hear the speaker.
You are wrong. Abraham Lincoln signed the original emancipation proclamation on the 22nd day of September year of 1862. Not in 1863.
242 people do not like us knowing about or celebrating our freedom.
Excellent presentation.
BALONEY TOM.......................COLORED PEOPLE NEED NO HOLIDAY.
Nobody discriminate you more than yourself. All who believed in themselves ignoring race theory, they've been successful in their live, no matter race and sking color.
@Gravity Slave There are many African Americans who don't believe in that and they became successful citizens.
@Gravity Slave sorry if they are blind, because we had a black president for 8 years, black on TV like Ophra, on aviation, military, lawyers, doctors, everywhere, so where's the racism?
@@alexmp3821 Actually, there's still plenty of racism in the society just that we don't hear much about that because the justice system makes their ways to silence the voices of those who are oppressed
Racism doesn't only mean felling hatred of POC, but to judge them by their looks. Racial profiling done by authorities, unequal consequences between white and non-white people when accused of the same thing, calling black people "aggressive and overreacting" when they were doing something to defend themselves, I could just go on, but I just wanted to let you know that just because now there's black representation in the media, doesn't mean that there isn't racism.
@@xbvm I agree, but that's everywhere, never going to end because the heart of many people is arrogant, they think are better and superior than others. My point is we can't stop doing something for us " because I'm Black and they hate me", no, that's wrong.
@@xbvm racism is most rampant amongst those who see race in everything
