IMO, Juneteenth is more worthy of a holiday than Columbus Day and Labor Day, just to name two.

Columbus Day, no. We aren't here without Columbus' expedition. It changed the world forever.

I just think a small part of Juneteenth should be about acknowledging that it took a lot of white people, and particularly dead white people, for all of this to happen.
I know talking about white people positively in any historical context is taboo, but at least part of the celebration should be a message of unity, that it took both races coming together to end slavery. |

What? It's a day to think about and give thanks for what we have and I think that is an absolutely wonderful premise for a holiday.
