Op-ed:
No Holiday Created Will Erase The Past

Juneteenth...a word now being bantered around by the Democrats, the media, some Republicans, and black Americans from all walks of life. Juneteenth...June 19, 1865 when a group of slaves in Galveston, Texas, learned after almost two and a half years that President Abraham Lincoln had signed the Emancipation Proclamation freeing them from the whip and from the chains...freeing them from the bondage of slavery...freeing them to establish a “new relationship” between “former masters and slaves” as “employer and hired labor,” as per the message delivered by Union Army Major General Gordon Granger. 

And while the June 19th date is significant as also being the now being deemed “official end” of the Civil War, to many black Americans, Juneteenth is remembered as the day that true emancipation...true freedom...was slow in coming for the slaves in parts of the Deep South. And to other black Americans today they see Juneteenth as either America's Second Independence Day, as Freedom Day, or as Black Liberation Day. Take your pick as to what name you want to attach to June 19th for the name itself doesn't really matter...what matters is that legally all America's slaves became “free men and women” on that day.
