You are good. I appreciate that. I came from not knowing about it at all. I didn’t know it was such a big thing. This comment made up for it. I don’t watch the news, I don’t even own a TV, saying I live under a rock would be an understatement at times. Can I ask, are you from the Texas area?
I’m genuinely a little surprised. I’m not that far from Virginia either. I really wonder why I hadn’t heard anything about Juneteenth prior to recently then.
I grew up in Central Maryland (in the county) and one of my best friends was half black. The high was also 70% black. It wasn’t a thing in the late eighties in that area.
I never heard of it till it became a federal holiday.

Not at all. I’m from Central Appalachia in Virginia.

Well, I am glad I wasn’t the only one.
