By the end of the Civil War, roughly 179,000 black men (10% of the Union Army) served as soldiers in the U.S. Army and another 19,000 served in the Navy. Nearly 40,000 black soldiers died over the course of the war-30,000 of infection or disease
Probably the same reason why you never got to saw the white man hate the race, I came here to comment something else but then I saw your stupid comment and it was just waving at me like the MR kid on a bus
For what!? Slaves weren't freed by the Emancipation Proclamation. It was quasi-freedom. Have you ever heard of the Black codes?! Slavery didn't really end until Reconstruction. Pick up a book and learn to read.
#1. The civil war was drafted. #2. Some union soldiers attacked and murdered black union soldiers. #3. Black men fought in the civil war, both as free men and slaves. This is what happens when you ban books and teaching history because it makes certain people feel guilty and fragile.
Dr. Opal is truly inspirational. I've only even been inspired by 2 or 3 people over 90 and she really did her part to acknowledge the beauty of freedom for the human race. She said it herself. She wants everyone to treasure the sanctity of life and freedom for all humans. At 90, truly inspirational.
I agree with the gentleman's comment below no one ever thinks the Republican men who went down to Texas to tell those Democrats to free those human beings
Those Liberal Radical Republicans. Radical Republicans were an entirely different party than Republicans. They were like the Progressive party. Today they would be Bernie Sanders.
What an interesting and amazing woman. May the black community finally have justice for the atrocities the American government inflicted on their families ❤
❤❤❤❤❤ I want to grow up to be just like you there’s no better life than a life lived fighting for what you believe in this is strength 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 #pridetobehaitian #pridetobeblack ❤
Its about time we honor all of the soldiers who fought and died in the civil war to end slavery. Although if they saw today how ungrateful the blacks were they would wish they hadn't
Juneteenth came out of the woodwork about ten fifteen years ago. I neither support it or recognize it as a federal holiday as it is a one sided coin. I disrespect you
Slavery is the darkest stain on the tapestry of humanity, where the chains of oppression not only bind bodies but shackle the very essence of human dignity and freedom. Yet, in the face of such horror, the indomitable human spirit has risen, transforming suffering into strength and paving the way for a future where liberty and justice shine ever brighter. If only certain groups would cease creating division between races with lies, we could continue to heal and unite as one nation.
Lol guys let's just be happy we all get another federal holiday, a paid day off for everyone, don't stress too much about why? Like how many of y'all still believe little Jesus is born every December?

Yeah no, I’m not celebrating people who have not only ruined our once safe and clean cities, but ruined our culture with other children adopting the slang language and attitudes that has made everything so primitive and ugly.
@@davidbakke9293 I’m simply observing it truthfully and soberly, and pointing out who has torn it down. Not just noting the day to day interpersonal violence, but our everyday culture. Don’t blame me because I notice and make this about me. Don’t deflect.

Technology and medical knowledge was soo low level back then😢. Did Natives have same problems?
Some cities had to cancel the festivities in fear of Black on Black violence.
Juneteenth is the new Freaknik.
I wish Michelle Obama would quit fear-mongering and actually DO something real for the black community.

Why dont you report on how Oakland is celebrating??
They sure did "celebrate" last night in Oakland😂
Juneteenth should be cancelled. It's more like gunfight at the OK Corral. Getting a whole black history month is plenty.
Duck! It’s a Juneteenth celebration!
Have you ever heard a Thank You to the white men and Republicans for freeing the slaves? Me neither.
You deserve no thanks your people freed the slaves because it crippled the south not because they though it was wrong
I have actually. We must never forget our history.

Juneteenth deserves to be a federal holiday. I am so glad President Biden and Dr. Opal Lee made it happened. 🎉
There even some Juneteenth events that had no mass shootings either! BLM should get involved in these horrific acts of violence.
It's not sadly
Yes yes we have to give something to everybody there's really nothing special about anything anymore

No, thanks.
