June 19, 1865.

You know what I just snapped to? Read that on the left side of Reagan’s post. Juneteenth ain’t about that. There were no remaining slaves. They just didn’t find out in Texas for dang near two years. On June 19th a Union ship arrived in Galveston informing the people still illegally enslaved that they had been declared free by the Emancipation proclamation. The Union Army didn’t free them that day. Lincoln had freed them two years before. See what I mean about not knowing history? It can be a dangerous thing.

5-3 dub tonight over the Mets 😎 

A&M on to the championship best of 3. All SEC championship series. #1 Tennessee vs. #3 Texas A&M   Aggies 8-0 so far in post season

Then a special HAPPY JUNETEENTH to you, brother.  I ain’t quite white as rice, but I am Caucasian. Proud to be an American, too.
