Re: Texas event becomes National Holiday today
Reconsidering, I think you’re right. Just like when the Army misappropriated the Field Artillery’s Caisson Song to become the Army Song. I was upset until I realized that the entire US Army now stands to attention when they hear
And those caissons go rolling along!
. As they should. Nobody knows the new lyrics.

Re: Texas event becomes National Holiday today
Yeah, but the Yankees’ll never celebrate the holiday properly. There’ll be BLM demonstrations and calls to end “systemic racism” and whatnot, but no real rejoicing of the new-found freedom in the spirit of 1865 Galveston.
Juneteenth is a TEXAS holiday and for the nation to usurp the day is a real example of cultural appropriation.
