Juneteenth

Happy Juneteenth!

I'm very surprised this holiday doesn't get more play in the media. It's almost like they don't really care that the slaves were emancipated .. they don't want to remember that fact. They'd rather remember that they were slaves in the first place.

Well I for one think that the emancipation of slaves, anywhere, constitutes a cause for celebration and so I'm gonna make the best of it.

(Also on this day, according to Wikipedia, the Garfield comic strip first appeared. Happy birthday, Garfield.)
