Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. From its Galveston, Texas origin in 1865, the observance of June 19th as the African American Emancipation Day has spread across the United States and beyond.
Now it’s a national holiday in the United States. Let this be a time for African-Americans who were oppressed and enslaved throughout time celebrate. The struggle for freedom in many places is still real and the fight continues.
To all my Jewish and other friends celebrating Passover may this be a time of family, faith and friendship.
“Shalom!
Wishing you…
Peace, Good times,
Good health
and Happiness…
on Passover & always!”
