Definitions by Juneteenth

Juneteenth 

In the US, slavery was officially abolished with the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation. No one bothered to tell all the slaves in Texas until June 19, 1865, a day commonly celebrated as "Juneteenth."
Every Juneteenth we're reminded just how mean people could be.
