Great artwork, too!

I never knew this. I know about Juneteenth & always celebrated it since I was a child. Well, before it was made a national holiday, it was an ancestral & cultural holiday & that's what is more important.

Black families & those of you with Black in your family thru DNA or marriage, this is what our future generations need to know. Now that you KNOW BETTER DO BETTER!
