I just noticed in on my calendar too and looked it up earlier today. Not recognized in PA. You would think it would be made into a more significant day. Maybe not June 19th but some day during the year.

In California, official observance started in 2005. I had never heard of it before either. Thanks.

Yep - "Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States.

From its Galveston, Texas origin in 1865, the observance of June 19th as the African American Emancipation Day." Been around for 143 years???

What could you possibly start? I HOPE there isn't anyone on this site who thinks that slavery shouldn't have been abolished.
