I've only mentioned it one time a few years ago. I'm sure most people were like- "What's Juneteenth?" But today, June 18th, is my birthday- Sup Sir Paul McCartney. I was born on this date because of Juneteenth. True story.

It just happened that, before Facebook, texas was so far out of the communication loop that it took the slaves a long time to hear the news that they were free. but the whole premise of it doesn't apply anywhere else in the country.

I remember running that Marathon. Was running near some of the top women (you could tell 'cause they were wearing shoes that I'd never seen before, probably custom made), and I think we went by Wellesley College. The screams from the ladies along the route kept my ears ringing for miles afterwards.

But can you conceive of why a person like myself would be born on today's date instead of tomorrow's all because of Juneteenth?CHEEZY17 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 18, 2022 10:33 pmI grew up in Detroit.

Re: So is your US bank closed this Monday
I was born at Herman hospital in Houston, Tx- the largest one there. At that time, expectant mothers could expect that their pregnancies could end in C-Sections. Very common back then- death rates from natural childbirths were still pretty elevated. So, my Mom had her C-section procedure scheduled for near Noon June 19th. Due to the fact that Herman hospitals support staff was almost 70% African American and they would all be off the next day, her procedure was moved to June 18th evening. So, I was born today because of Juneteenth.

Re: So is your US bank closed this Monday
Oh, and making Juneteenth a federal holiday is the stupidest thing (If that's possible) Biden has ever done. Just had Memorial Day 3 weeks ago and July 4th next week. And when did President's get allowed to establish federal holidays by Executive Order? I thought Congress was only allowed to do that.

i would have guessed it was because his father didn't want a son that was born on that day.saltydog wrote: ↑Mon Jun 20, 2022 2:14 amCaptivatingCentralTexasCrude wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 2:25 amI was born at Herman hospital in Houston, Tx- the largest one there.
