I read that it was first started in 1980 as a state holiday in Texas and became celebrated in other states over the years. This is the first time I’m hearing of it in the MSM and it was only due to wanting to move the rally in Tulsa. Did anyone else find this interesting?

I knew about juneteenth since I was a kid in the 70's growing up in Texas. There would always be at least one shooting and my dad's black employees would call the house begging him to bail them out for fighting, public intoxication, or dwi. EVERY YEAR!
