I think our side should do A LOT of action on that day, at the same time, and not just in Tulsa. Wasn't that the day when the Emancipation Proclamation was finally read officially in Texas? Juneteenth is an important day, and we should ALL be celebrating it.

Most of the other states recognized it after 2002 and some not until 2011. 3 states still don’t. I’m proud of Florida for a nice change.

And by that I mean modern-era Democratic Governors.

People like Askew, Graham and Chiles.
