Juneteenth

Juneteenth is an important day. Many people have not heard of or acknowledged it, yet it is still momentous.  According to juneteenthohio.net, it is the day -- June 19, 1865 -- that the last group of slaves were freed.  Approximately, 800,000 slaves were not affected by the Emancipation Proclamation.  It took much more to officially set all slaves free, including civil war and the 13th Amendment.

Juneteenth.com encourages everyone to celebrate the day.  It is not only an African American freedom holiday, it is also American History.  It is a day to remember because lives were enhanced.  The entire country, as well as the world improved June 19th, so long ago.

May it encourage us all to be better than we are.
