Juneteenth observed

 

[VIDEO] Wow! Been a while since I've posted twice in one day.

Today is a federal holiday Juneteenth. It seems to have a long history long before the unrest of 2020. In 2021 this day well actually June 19th became a federal holiday. If you work today you might get time and a half from your job - depending upon your company or industry. If you work for the gov't then you have a day off...

Regardless from the YouTube channel of AL.com we see a basic history for this holiday which is described as America's second independence day. However, my understand of Juneteenth is that is celebrates the abolition of slavery in America during the Civil War.
