Juneteenth.

June 19, 1865, a date which should be forever celebrated by all citizens of the United States of America.

Why?

As Barack Redacted Obama says, "Just words."

It's just words, unless you happen to be a slave. Then it's liberty and wages instead of the lash. The freedom not to be separated from your wife and children because somebody needed some quick cash. The ability to walk away from where you work and not be killed like a dog by a bounty hunter.

"Just words."

Unless you value individual freedom. Then it's a day to remember and rejoice. Tell your children. Baloons, barbecue, cookouts, days off work, etc. A holiday.

We had hamburgers and hot dogs for lunch at work. What did you do?
