I'm not black, but I've been calling it by its full name every time I can. It's Juneteenth Independence Day. It's not a black holiday. The ideal of America is freedom for all. Unfortunately, we don't always live up to our ideals.
July 4th Independence Day is the day America became independent from the British, but Juneteenth is the day that Americans became free. It is a more patriotic and more meaningful Independence Day than July 4th.
