Happy Juneteenth
Saturday afternoon, "Governor Deval Patrick signed a proclamation that makes June 19 a day of observance to commemorate the date in 1865 when the last people held as slaves in the United States learned they were free."
This makes Massachusetts the 25th state in the Union to do so. Here's hoping the other 25 will follow suit.
Juneteenth, the "19th of June" is America's 2nd Independence Day Celebration.
Together we will see Juneteenth become a National Holiday in America!
