Hey y'all! In this episode I will be talking about a celebration created in 1865, created by and for Black people, that should be more mainstream and celebrated by everyone. I dive into the history, how it is celebrated, and why we should celebrate Juneteenth. It needs to be adopted as a formal national holiday ad possibly replace July 4th especially in importance.
