Now, here's the second thing that I wanted to share, but I want to start out with a disclaimer. I want to make myself 100% clear. In no means am I sharing this because I seek to negate or lessen the importance of the holiday of Juneteen Th. Rather, it's just some additional historical perspective because it's a complicated world, a complicated country, and there was a lot at play
