My first Juneteenth blog message to USA

This is going to be a short blog post. 

I want to say to the American people & the United States of America. 

Happy Juneteenth America from the UK. Finally American people from all races can celebrate this new National holiday about blacks (African Americans) being free from slavery. Especially during the US civil war. 

 I last wrote a blog post about combating racism in all forms. mrlimitless95.blogspot.com Having Juneteenth as the newest American Federal Holiday since Martin Luther King Jr Day which was introduced in the 1980s is one of the ways to teach about history & to combat racism. Slavery is part of US history. Very unpleasant history. But to not teach & educate everybody about how awful things happened, it means history could be repeated. 

This new holiday in US shows that people can come together to fight oppression and racism in all forms since it is part of history. So I am happy to see that Juneteenth is now a federal/public holiday in the United States. 😀🙂🇺🇸👏🏾👍🏾 

So If you happen to live in the US, I would like to say Happy Juneteenth. From the UK. 😀🇬🇧

My first ever Juneteenth blog message. 😀
