Nice to see Biden following thru on part of Trump's plan. ;)
Biden signed Juneteenth into law on Thursday as a federal public holiday — but President Donald Trump had proposed doing so last year, as part of his “Platinum Plan” for black Americans.
The plan promised to make Juneteenth “a National Holiday” marking the emancipation of slaves in the Civil War.
Though embraced recently as a left-wing cause, Juneteenth has long been a regional holiday with patriotic themes. The official flag of Juneteenth, created in 1997 by Ben Haith, the founder of the National Juneteenth Celebration Foundation (NJCF), alludes to the red, white, and blue of the American flag, as well as the Lone Star of the Texas state flag. Trump worked with rapper Ice Cube on the plan.

I didn't know this! But why do they have to call it Juneteenth? It sounds like some ghetto ebonics slang.
Juneteenth is a blend of the words June and nineteenth

Conjecture. We have innumerable photographs of North American indians. Photography has been around since 1840's. They have distinct physical features (thin lips, high cheekbones, straight hair).
And someone was here before those two groups, and someone was here before them....
"invaded" ? We SETTLED this wilderness. As to your attempt to re-write our history, here's a hot cup of NOPE to drink!!
