      Juneteenth has long been a big deal in Texas, Georgia, & various parts of the South, but it is an obscure holiday in much of the North, Midwest and West of the country. I was in my thirties before I'd heard of it, & have still never seen signs of its celebration around NY.https://twitter.com/tedfrank/status/1273586852893798400 …

      This is such an Orwellian story. The US celebrates Juneteenth. It has always celebrated Juneteenth. You surely remember the commemorative MLB uniforms and the Juneteenth newspapers thick with inserts for Juneteenth sales, comrade. Be sure you applaud with enough enthusiasm. https://twitter.com/anniekarni/status/1273584264056094720 …

      The relatively low profile of Juneteenth in the NY area is in contrast to the many, many ethnic holidays celebrated here - everybody's seen the Puerto Rican Day celebrations, for example, or has heard of the West Indian Day parade. It's just more of a Southern thing.

          Here in TX it’s obviously something we know about. But of course our civic institutions across the post reconstruction and Jim Crow south never had an incentive to memorialize the day when the federal occupation forces officially proclaimed the end of slavery here.

          I am 53 years old, have lived in NYC, Virginia, Hawaii, Chicago, and now Colorado, and consider myself well-read. And over all those years in all those places I had not heard of Juneteeth until just a few days ago.

          It’s been a thing out here in California for at least 30 years and was a thing in southern Illinois when I grew up (I’m older than 30, and I’ll leave it at that).

          September 22, 1862 - Emancipation Proclamation issued January 1, 1863 - Proclamation goes into effect These two dates are historic and meaningful June 19 - Union General reads aloud a Federal order proclaiming all slaves in Texas are free. Why is this a big deal outside of Texas?
