You don't seem to be familiar with the "BS-Attagirl" system.

Here's how it works:

When you do something good, you get an "Attagirl".

When you do something bad, you get a "BS".

One "BS" does not cancel out one "Attagirl", it cancels ALL the "Attagirls",
even if you have a bazillion of them, and you have to start again from zero.

Since you didn't know the system you get a pass. Only this time.

I was a bit off on the answer so I will give somebody else a shot. I knew that it is a big holiday in Texas and I knew that it had to do with the end of slavery, but I had the rest of the answer wrong.

Since everybody decided to skip the more in depth answer to the Juneteenth story.

In January 1 1863, Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. On June 19th 1865, 2 1/2 years after the slaves were freed General Gordon Granger landed at Galveston and informed the slaves in Texas that they were freed.

This Russian poet's reputation is equal in his language
to Shakespeare's reputation in English.

Tragically, he was killed in a duel in the prime of life.

Yup. I knew I had only part of the history behind it correct. I looked that up earlier but was waiting to see if anybody else posted it.
