LAFC launches petition to recognize Juneteenth as national holiday
Thought this was interesting. Thoughts?

It is celebrated in Texas, because it happened in Texas. It is Texas history. My relatives celebrated it as far back as the early 1900s....maybe earlier, but those people would have been long dead before I cold talk to them about it. My family lived near a predominantly Black area, and were invited every year to a big celebration, which they attended.I think its a great idea. I believe texas was the first state to recognize it as a holiday, wasn't it? its about time the rest of the country catches up to texas.
