Now this is a new federal holiday I can get behind wholeheartedly - more worthy than at least four other existing holidays, IMO.
You might prefer to add others, but in my view freedom is the essential quality which allows us to live fully as humans. I can’t think of any other single event in our nation’s history which is more purely emblematic of freedom than what enslaved Americans began to realize in Galveston 158 years ago today.
Redemptive of a truly evil practice, sorrow that it took so long to begin rectifying, and incomplete, sure, but also joy. #Juneteenth seems like something we call all celebrate.
