  1. Although I grew up part of my early life outside of Atlanta GA and Annandale VA and learned Georgia history, we never learned anything about Juneteenth being any kind of a holiday and was not celebrated. Martin Luther King Day however

  2. Such ignorance. I blame the media. Slavery was abolished in January of 1865. That should be the date that should be celebrated. June is irrelevant to abolishing slavery. Idiots. Definitely will not support or honor "Juneteenth". Whatever that is.

  3. Yes, Gordon Granger stood on that balcony and told slaves that they were free but let's not forget the black soliders who helped him. Black soliders on horses and with riffles in their hands went around telling people they were free They chased a bunch of Confederate soldiers out of Texas and into Mexico.
    My point is that black people had a huge hand in their own freedom.

  4. I am from Gary, Indiana if anybody knows about Gary Indiana? Well…..how come we never heard anything about THIS. Lefties and the media need to stop!

  5. Our history textbooks need to be rewritten. Important and accurate facts have been left out. I read about the real truth about Christopher Columbus in college.

  6. this offends me!….will the demands ever end?….no one ever heard of juneteenth until recently!……and when the slaves were emancipated, what was the democrats position? history tells us they opposed it and now they want to claim they're the savior?….the only new federal holiday we need is if and when folks finally get on with their lives and quit all this whining and complaining!….i suspect that will never happen

  7. I just read a post on instagram that said "white people, don't take vacation or day off during june" . How did this world became so crazy.

  8. Why hasn't the democrat liberal teachers union made sure we all know this? Its becoming more and more obvious to everyone how racist democrats really are!

  9. juneteenth on this day, today. we respect black people and their work. we buy from black creators, we donate, we help, we do anything to support our black friends :)! happy juneteenth everyone!!
