I was in the midst of a "Junteenth" Discussion around the time of MLK day. My cousin's audiologist (who's black from TX) and the Director of Secondary Education (who's black from TN) were heated. Well technically the lady from TN was heated. She kept saying how the audiologist really isn't black b/c 1. he's from TX and 2. he celebrates Juneteenth. She kept saying how it was a made up holiday because the slaves in Texas were "too dumb" (her words not mine) to realize they were free, so they stayed slaves for one more year.
All I can say is what matters to me is that June 19 is my birthday!!
