Two thoughts on this #Juneteenth
National Independence Day.

1. Juneteenth is an important national holiday for all Americans who love liberty and are committed to democracy for all American citizens.

2. Slavery wasn’t an asterisk appended to American democracy. It was a state-sanctioned system of totalitarian terror. It negated the idea of America as a true and full democracy. Juneteenth was a key milestone in our history on par with the Fourth of July.
