One Woman's Decades-Long Fight To Make Juneteenth A U.S. Holiday
"We can all finally celebrate. The whole country together," says Opal Lee, 94, who has been working for years to make Juneteenth a federal holiday.www.npr.org
Opal Lee is 94 and has become known as the Grandmother of Juneteenth. President Biden signed the bill on Thursday, and Lee was standing beside him during the ceremony, as a federal holiday to commemorate the end of slavery in the United States.
Lee recalls her decades of work in the Juneteenth movement after joining the Tarrant County Black Historical and Genealogical Society, which oversaw local Juneteenth celebrations. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, the Democrat from Houston and one of many who sponsored the act concluded, it is a profoundly joyous day "because it allows little children in schools to be taught the wonderment of America and that America can overcome its ills to be able to rise to its better days."
WTF? You want children to be taught this type of crap in schools??? At first I thought the original creators of this bill were good patriotic Conservatives like Ted Cruz and John Cornyn -- and so did some other brilliant conservative patriots...like Conservative superstar Charlie Kirk...he thought just as early as last year that Juneteenth would be an awesome way to show how "Republicans" ended slavery......and how the Dems even today hate Lincoln because of it....

But now the ugly truth has been exposed -- the reason for this bill didn't start with god-fearing Christian republicans; the architect of this push to make Juneteenth a federal holiday is a 94 yr old racist woman. A woman who clearly still holds a grudge because of how when she was 12, a mob of 500 white heroes burned down her home because her family was uppity enough to believe they can live in that neighborhood like this was a free country....are they stupid?? and no, police didn't stop it or arrest any of those involved, why should they?
Now because of this woman's hatred and disdain for our country, she has spent her whole life trying to get revenge for that. She has spent her whole life trying to replace 4th of July with this racist holiday....She is even teaching children about this crap...Now the GOP has caved in and allowed the racists to win again?? and even worse.... now you have brilliant conservative minds like Charlie looking like they were full of shit the whole time....
