Juneteenth is Today!! Recognize!!

3. Houston - every year two groups vie for the right to run the Juneteenth Parade.
It's a longstanding tradition!

I had almost forgotten it was June. This year has been two years long.

6. It's an important holiday to blacks in America
I wonder how widely known it is among whites.
