Recently, I was conversing with a White friend, and I mentioned that Juneteenth is this weekend. They said, “Wait, what is that?”
There’s a part of me that wanted to snap at them, somewhat sarcastically, “How could you not know that Juneteenth is one of the most important independence day celebrations in American history?!” But I couldn’t.
Because the truth is, I didn’t know about Juneteenth...
