https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juneteenth
Juneteenth[b] (officially Juneteenth National Independence Day and historically known as Jubilee Day,[2] Black Independence Day,[3] and Emancipation Day[4][5]) is a federal holiday in the United States celebrating the emancipation of African American slaves.[6] Originating in Galveston, Texas, in 1866, it has been celebrated annually on June 19 throughout the United States. It became a recognized federal holiday in June 2021 when President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law.[7][8][9] It is commemorated on the anniversary date of the June 19, 1865, announcement of General Order No. 3 by Union Army general Gordon Granger, proclaiming freedom for slaves in Texas.[10]
We should celebrate Juneteenth by educating Americans about some basic historical facts.
- Abe Lincoln founded the Republican party for the sole purpose of abolishing slavery

- Democrats went to war against the USA, to keep their slaves

-
Because the GOP was founded as an abolitionist party, very few, if any, Republicans have ever owned slaves.
-
Republicans were responsible for pretty much all of the Civil Rights Acts throughout history

- The only reason Juneteenth is being talked about in 2021, is because Trump pushed for it in 2020

and for those who claim the parties have switched positions:
Democrats 1860: bbbut if we don't have slaves, then who will pick the cotton?
Democrats 2022: bbbut if we don't have illegals, then who will pick the vegetables?
Don’t forget the watermelon!
