Juneteenth

I'm from Oklahoma. I might be expected to know more about Juneteenth? Although, I am from a small town, it was acknowledged and celebrated within my community. But I have to admit my knowledge of the holiday was limited. It felt like one big family reunion to me. I guess it took becoming an adult to finally get a history lesson.

Juneteenth originated on June 19, 1865 to commemorate the ending of slavery.
