RE: Rally Fever
Joy Hall on MSNBC was claiming Trump is a confederate president and him going to Tulsa to hold a rally (a city that burned its Black Wall St.) during Juneteeth was racist.

RE: Rally Fever
If you aren't from Texas or Black, you probably never heard of Juneteenth before. Its a Texas holiday, when the slaves in Texas found out they were free. News traveled slow in those days. The last battle of the Civil War, Palmito Ranch in South Texas, was a Confederate victory on May 13, 1865, over a month after Lee surrendered. Confederates found out from the Union prisoners.

As a life-long Memphian (except for 4 years aged 3-7) I've never heard of Juneteenth until this cropped up.

True. TBH, Kwanza has more recognition than Juneteenth.
