Happy Juneteenth!
A few years back I found out what Juneteenth was.🤦🏾♂As a Black American man, I was ashamed that I didn’t know what Juneteenth was. Why wasn’t it taught to all of us??? Growing up in a Connecticut we learned things about Salem and the witch trials…..

Im so ashamed ashamed to admit this. But this month was the first time i ever heard of Juneteenth.
Everyday I’ve been learning more and more about the culture and understanding a little bit more. I appreciate any history you guys want to drop in the comment
