Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Juneteenth marks the anniversary of the announcement of General Order No. 3 by Union Army General Gordon Granger on June 19, 1865, proclaiming freedom for enslaved people in Texas. (Note: Texas slave owners probably knew about this long before but were trying to pretend they hadn’t heard).
But today is Monday, June 20th. Since we don’t get a day off work when it falls on a Sunday we get to celebrate the end (not really) to a horrible part of the birth of our nation. So enjoy the day off and the slight inconvenience of not receiving any mail and, for Texas republicans, go back to pretending none of this happened.
