No one can tell me they love black people and would actually want Juneteenth to be a federal holiday. That puts that event, that commemoration now in the hands of the government and all the corporations that wasn't making that Juneteenth money....can now do it at will. The people who have been selling Juneteenth items for years, for DECADES will be skimped to the side and seen as BOOTLEG because "REAL" Juneteenth items will be at Walmart, Target, and all the other commercialized stores. Now the descendants of the oppressors and those who govern the laws that still oppress us....get to have a day off because it took Texas two years to tell victims of generational torture and servitude that slavery was over. Smh.
You may ask, "how to fight this, now that Juneteenth is a federal holiday?" Simple......go and support those that have been producing Juneteenth items all of this time. If you don't know to find it, search for it!! Better yet, here is a site right here created by Mary Blue, a friend who has been producing Juneteenth apparel for years! https://juneteenthproject.threadless.com The government made have taken the holiday, but don't let the corporations take your power and money! God bless and manifest.
