I always enjoy how Dr. Gates explains history in such an engaging and straightforward way.
TWO STRONG BLACK 🖤 👑 KING'S! THANK YOU FOR COVERING!!! HAPPY JUNETEENTH!!!!
Mr. Gates, You, Sir, are a national, if not world treasure. You are in the hearts and minds of so many.
Amen to that !
Good God. Go back and learn what Gates said about a certain white cop. He is no treasure at all. If he is what we call a treasure it is proof this country morally bankrupt.
Of the thousands of video and other content on RUclips regarding the history of Juneteenth, I searched for Louis Gates because here lies the truth in plain simple communication. Thank you.
ya dont forget to find and watch his extended cspan interview in which he discusses africans in africa who owned and sold slaves.
in the same cspan interview professor gates discusses how there were blacks who owned slaves in the usa too.
historical facts
@@adamgriffith6750 And they have never stopped the owning and trading slaves. To this day they do it.
Im a firm believer in the utility of the racks of cheap books in front of book stores. One day I paused to inspect a favorite store's outside racks and noticed a book about Juneteenth. That name peaked my interest. I'm a preschool teacher and am constantly looking for good stories the teach. I was amazed and proud when Joe Biden made it a federal holiday.
Thank you, Dr. Gates, a million times over.
0:19 - 0:37 I like what he said here. 'hungry for holidays, hungry for tradition'. African Americans *in Texas* kept Juneteenth alive, until it was recently made a federal holiday.
It's intriguing to me, the way that African Americans are bursting with culture. So much so, that each region of America has its accolades.
New York- Hip Hop
Texas- Juneteenth
Atlanta- The Regina George of African Americans
LA- The famous cousins
And simultaneously, it is *firmly* stated, that African Americans are culture-bare. 🤔
🚶🏿
Happy Juneteenth! ❤
Always a joy to see Dr Gates’ passion for his craft and our history✊🏾👏🏾
That ain’t a real holiday
@@Anthony-zw1qbWell it's a Federal Holiday now for a reason go figure.
@@peacefulrecharge896 the same guy who wants to build a bridge across the Pacific Ocean made it a holiday
Why is it a black holiday it has to do with slavery which many races where?
@@peacefulrecharge896 It's a federal holiday, though none of us celebrate here, thank God. I consider it a joke.
Thanks for the history
I love his comment " Love of Freedom" hence all should celebrate this holiday
I would love to meet Dr. Gates, another West Virginian. ❤ from West Virginia
❤❤❤❤❤ ❤❤😊
I love this guy and "Finding Your Roots" 👍
Freedom should be celebrated
A day of celebration and remembrance 🥳🥳🥳
Thanks professor for all you do to remind people of history. 1:32 oct 26, My parents were active in WW2 and would like all that you do. Keep going professor!
Very informative
Dr. Gates be on point with his information
Love Dr. GATES..SO MUCH PASSION WITH EDUCATING US ALL!❤
I can listen and learn from Dr. Gates Jr. forever! He is so engaging with his story telling!
dont forget to find and watch professor gates extended cspan interiew in which he discusses africans in africa who owned nd sold slaves.
in the same interview he disusses how there were blacks in the usa who owned slaves too
historial facts
he dose not mention though, how various indian tribes owned slaves as well.
he also fails to discuss at all how there were tens of millions of white slaves over generations thru out world history
I love this man and how he explains things. And how he makes it OK to celebrate this for ‘all our countrymen’ ❤
Вы потрясающая
So in the early days, Blacks celebrated Juneteenth in Galveston with get-togethers, hush harbor sing-alongs, and even played some outdoor games they enjoyed. Maybe even the first parades too.
But in 2021--the inaugural Juneteenth, it was a bit like the 4th of July. Opal Lee, a lady whose family were related to slaves, made it a federal holiday in that year. So with that, in 2021 on June 19th, like July 4th - it had parades, sporting events, picnics, concerts, music, and special church services. In a few cases, they even shot off personal fireworks--especially on the inaugural 2021 Juneteenth. Crazy as that!
I'm not certain about that. Do you know? I have been alive 51 years in the the USA. I'm white. I have seen a lot in my time here. When I was in junior high school i could feel some racism. And I felt it receding. This was the 1980's to 1990's. Now I feel it back without justice. It's sad and bewildering and I know there are many people who feel the same.
@@slapper22 Yeah, but the racism is against white people now. Gates is proof of that. He literally lied to try and destroy a good white cop's life.
It’s good to have a memorial and acknowledgment that teaches the truth. So thankful for Dr. Gates, and the freedom he has today to teach us all that truth.
One of the few objective historians in today's day and age.

I would love to have a one in one conversation with Dr. Gates😊Thankful for this holiday. Hopefully for changes in laws to bring about more change.
Like what kind of change is still needed?
👍💪❤🎯❤💪👍
This guy is spot on historically, When I repeat these things on social media Im labeled a racist by the ignorant, And historic revisionist
As it was mentioned in the segment, the details of Juneteenth are less important that than power of its message. If people are on social media speaking on Juneteenth and you come in trying to deliver a lesson on small details that had no effect on the outcome, then people might just might take a bit of issue with that. Contrary to what you think, we dont need for you all to come in to our spaces trying to school us on US. We can celebrate US without your input.
Luv HISTORY 🎈 Luv Professor GATES ! Freedom required military * Enforcement * 📜 thanks !
At first I didn’t like him but I see he is very good person
I like her even more now. Just off how she said “girl” 😂😂. I pronounce it similarly 😆.
Очень симпатичная ведущая
The first time you have
❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂❤❤😊
Отличная новость 👍
Its a very special day for African Americans.
It's also a day to remind certain people how horrible their ancestors were.
What a great guy.
Built on the Love of FREEdom ?
Well said… beautiful
ABSOLUTELY THE WORST THING OUR COUNTRY HAS DONE
What is it now
I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the great contributions of the Black community to our society. Their peaceful and generous nature make them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture. Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people. Real estate values are fueled by the mix of African Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nature of these communities, an example of all they have achieved through their enthusiasm for self-improvement by hard work and a self-reliant can-do nature. Without their industrious and creative drive, we would most undoubtedly be poorer as a nation.

Dr. and Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. is an Historian who is a National Treasure!!
LOVE YOU MR. GATES !!
I hope one day this holiday can be as important as the 4th of July 🙂
God, I hope not. We would be a ruined country if we did.
Not really. The five civilized Native American tribes held slaves after the Texas slaves were freed.
What history the war had just ended 2 months passed before the mail got there.. 2 whole months
Dr. Gates is Brilliant!
He is awful. He tried to ruin a white man's life and lied about it on national tv.
Only good thing about this "holiday" is when June 20 comes around.😮
It's to remind certain groups of how horrible history can be.
@@TheMrPeteChannel It' 's just June 19. If they really CARED about slavery they would today be heavily critical of what has been going on in Africa for centuries. They won't because the people who are enslaving others are black.
i disagree "without a past we dont have a future"
Now wrap your brains around this. 1863 1865 1965. Black folks allowed to vote that's Right 100 years later
I disagree. Juneteenth doesn't sound "charming", it sounds like a line out of a minstrel show so is demeaning. If the event is important enough to become a national holiday, the event deserves a respectful name.
You bring real history alive. But history is so brutal , I fear nuclear war. Mankind must become one to end nukes globally.
Happy Juneteenth ! One of the greatest a achievements in Republican history . 🇺🇸
I WANT MY 1000 ACRES AND A MULE.
I think it is a fine thing but we should recognize LBJ as the president who sadly put the black community back in chains
The last not true, there were still thousands in slavery on that date.
Freedom should absolutely be celebrated. However, let's stop saying the last enslaved Black people were freed in Texas on June 19, 1865. Slavery was still legal and practiced in Kentucky and Delaware until the 13th Amendment was adopted on December, 18, 1865. Plus, the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole tribes did not abolish enslaving Blacks until June 14, 1866.
Black people aren't the only people with no past.
A tip to The camera guy doing a wide shot when you have 2 people that are so disproportionate in body size
June 19, 2023 Texas Liberation Day for 157 yrs. of Freedom (Give or Take 100 yrs of Jim Crow) Now and Forever Free.
Is there a holiday to celebrate the Irish contribution to building the railroad? And the Chinese laborers who started from the West Coast?
Get your communities together and advocate to commemorate those contributions
You are talking about celebrating labor. Of course, all cultures have heritage months and organizations that celebrate every year. You are not involved and researching about it to know most likely. As African Americans, we are celebrating freedom after centuries and centuries of enslavement, jim crow laws and the fight for civil rights. Let us enjoy it. Join us 😊 Don't envy or be jealous about the Juneteenth holiday. I celebrate and support friends who have different racial backgrounds and cultures than I do. Some holidays and traditions are not the same as mine. However, I still show love and support and I am open-minded to learn about it 🥰 I can't ignore my own culture at the same time.
The irish have Saint Patrick's Day & the Chinese have Lunar New Year.
If that boy's victim fanbase would do half as much for themselves as big govt does then they would have plenty.
Without a past you have no future
Juneteenth is the new Kwanzaa
Juneteenth was here long before Kwanzaa. Its going nowhere. Have a seat!
Wtf is African American research
Juneteenth is the real independence day for African Americans. It's still U.S. history. History is not just the good but the good the bad and the ugly....even if someone is not African American they can still learn about Juneteenth and get involved.... but some people are quick to say thats their day im not black I don't want to learn about it. I don't see why not....but some people are closed minded and only learn about culture that involves them. I love learning about different cultures and traveling. Ita educational and interesting. I think people miss the point and debate about the wrong things about how slavery evolved etc. Historically everyone only knows about what they read in the books and what they read are lies most of the time. Slavery was just not in the U.S. only back then but people are blind to that part. Why do people think there were slaves in Peru and many other countries too.
So it's a replacement holiday?
What about Native Americans? I understand the past but why is the focus on Black history? God give grace to the forgotten people.
That's up to them .
They should push June 25th. That's were Custer died.
Beautifully said.... amazing what thinking before speaking does -- in contrast to Gates claims that the police in Cambridge MA were racist because they responded to a report of someone trying to break into the front door of a home. Lo and behold the officer in question and done many positive deeds for the African American community...and hence the beer summit and need to apologize by Gates, who displayed his prejudices towards the police.
He was arrested in his own home AFTER it was already established it was his house!!! Because his door was stuck when he came back from a trip. How do you think things went???? Ya think they threw him up against a wall unnecessarily?? An older well dressed man with a CANE? Although I’m sure Skip told em to GTFOOMH!!
@Violetrn76 The incident happened at dusk. He was leasing the house. The people who called saw something that they did not understand...Gates was belligerent that added tovthe confusion. .No one saw a cane...and I don't know what that has to do with anything...he is a light skinned biracial man ..and most people would not even know his race in that situation...kind of like the farce that people are routinely pulled over because they are black...first..police departments are often over half minority..70 percent in LA when u count women...most stops occur at night.. even during the day it is nearly impossible to know how many people are in a vehicle...much less their race or gender...with today's window shading...
The report was accurate, someone WAS trying to break into the home.
Its a Dental Holiday..
June is the Time to get those
Teeth cleaned!..Juneteenth!
F’ing stupid of a holiday
On Juneteenth we should all Thank The West for eliminating Slavery.
Though it was a great milestone in human history, there is still work to do.
There is Still Slavery n Asia and Africa.
We should encourage others to follow the lead of the west and eliminate slavery.
We should also eliminate serfdom. Especially with the push of the Woke Oligarchy to force everyone into serfdom.
It has neither history or significance
He gets on my nerves sometimes
Even the name of this woke holiday makes me cringe. This was a straight up democrat pandering strategy.
I'll celebrate apri 20th,may 25th, and june 19th.ooga,buga, figure that one out.
I think Juneteenth was established as a holiday right around Father’s Day so black people don’t feel left out.
Not true listen to whole video it explains that date June 19th.
dud
The feds didn't have a holiday in June. The victim class has February
National don’t steal a Kia day
The dumbest holiday of all time
What is it about all things black that bothers you so much?
This is so lame, let’s move on people
Get rid of the bible to truly move forward.
Some people are curated for TV. Those enslaved had a past and there was going to be a future regardless. People aren't hungry for holidays and they already had traditions they brought with them from their homeland. Stop minimizing groups of people to fit into this structure.
Savor the day this year because I am sure if Trump takes the presidency it will be terminated as a holiday . Thank you for a great and informative video.
I won't celebrate because they changed the name!!
Than don’t celebrate
Lol “if you don’t know your past you don’t have a future” what a lie straight out of the race hustlers evil anger filled hearts.
Juneteenth is a federal holiday commemorating how the Republicans liberated slaves held by the Democrats.
Upon being able to register to vote in the 40's and 50's, most Black people joined the Republican Party. Many may argue that the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was a Republican. The Republican Party of TODAY is full of misogynist, racist bigots who continue to create laws to make it harder for black and brown people to vote. The only Black people who claim to be Republicans are those selling their soul to the devil in order to gain political power and wealth by speaking out against the Democratic Party (who are also full of sh*t) i.e. Herschel Walker and Candace Owens. So miss me with your bs. Your underlying negative comments about Juneteenth speaks louder than your so distorted history lesson.
No its commemorating the last slaves to be free two tears after the emancipation proclamations. No one is free until all of us are free. Don't bring politics into this
Well said!!
@@playlisthitmaker9913 don’t bring politics into this? It was politics that made this possible genius. They’d still be picking cotton if not for republicans
Dr Gregg Carr is a better option to discuss Juneteenth not this sell-out😩
We should all celebrate Junteenth!
It is a celebration of the "Abolishment of Slavery by the Republicans."
Who cares

Happy Juneteenth to the 15 year old killed in this holiday out door party and the many others shot. We need to celebrate the record murders being set in multiple democrat controlled cities also.
Defund Da Police
Juneteenth is a Republican holiday.
Republicans fought for and freed the slaves in the South. Democrats continued the oppression found in slavery from the Civil War up until today (welfare-state).
CREATED BY BLACK AMERICANS. CELEBRATED BY ALL AMERICANS.
It's called segregation I'm so sick and tired of black and white in this country we all celebrate together one nation under God not segregation
Don’t give a damn.
You cared enough to click on a video and write a comment 🤡
@@BaithNa send um home
When they see too many black folk gathered they get so scared!!!! They are scared that a revolution is going to begin… they continue to repent on the sins of their ancestors

@michellehuff1710 Please clarify who THEY are and do you actually think that THEY'RE scared of 14 or 15% of our population? Don't think so. 😂
It’s literally a joke people!
Wow! So much dislike. I can tell you don’t know your history
Wow! This is part of American history. What was wrong is the treatment and many refuse to acknowledge the history. But want people to celebrate confederacy and civil war.
@@Lashonette1976 I know it too well . Lol
