Juneteenth

 

If you google "Juneteenth" a fun little graphic happens.  And maybe learn something a little new today.

I learned that Texas was the first state to make it an official holiday, which feels counterintuitive these days.

Also, the Washington Post has this article this morning (not behind a paywall) that I saw on the tweety and found interesting as well. Statue of Liberty was created in honor of the freedom of slaves, not for our welcoming of immigrants.  It's been a minute since I took US History but I'm not sure I learned that then.
