June 19, 2020, marks the 155th anniversary of Juneteenth — a mashup of June and nineteenth — the oldest-known celebration commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. It was on this day in 1865 when the last American slaves — a group of people in Texas — finally learned that slavery had been abolished and that they were free.

          That’s really cool! I like how Mr. de Blasio is making it a school holiday in New York City.

                  Because if I was born during this event, I'd be a slave.

                    Juneenth is the best, because we can remember some things about treating other the way they should be and some things about slavery. :] Like this comment you like Juneteenth.
