Good Saturday Night!!!
American History is very COMPLICATED.
United States of America has TWO very different Independence Days.
TWO different days, yet; one STILL unfinished American story.
July 4th marks the declaration of ideals in 1776 — ideals for which Crispus Attucks, and; continuing until today, legions of BLACK PEOPLE sacrifice their lives.
Juneteenth; or, June 19th, celebrates our ANCESTORS, and, their long, perilous, journey to freedom.
Black History IS American History. Wiithout US, Amrican History does NOT exist.
Believe It, or, NOT… Black Americans ARE the most PATRIOTIC race of American Citizens. As such; Black Americans have earned the right to celebrate either/both as they choose.
Happy 15 Days After Juneteenth 2026 America 250 Day.
God Bless You. I Love You.
