on my mind So I have the day off today. My company, along with many others in America, decided last week to officially recognize Juneteeth as a company-wide holiday. I didn’t grow up knowing about Juneteenth. I’d blame Arizona’s education system but I know my home state is not alone in improperly teaching us our history. I only learned about the significance of this day much later in life and not because any class taught me. I remember coming across wonderful Juneteenth celebrations in Oakland when I lived there and not understanding what was happening.
happy juneteenth!
happy juneteenth!
happy juneteenth!
