What Is Juneteenth?

quote [ When Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger issued the above order, he had no idea that, in establishing the Union Army's authority over the people of Texas, he was also establishing the basis for a holiday, "Juneteenth" ("June" plus "nineteenth"), today the most popular annual celebration of emancipation from slavery in the United States. ]

I clicked on this video with the caption "Run the Jewels discuss Juneteenth" and spent like 3 playthroughs wondering when RTJ was going to show up. I'm very tired. 🤷‍♂️😅😂😂

"Run The Jewels" heh that is kinda funny. May the real RTJ live so long (though the way things are going, they'll still be explaining this).
