Go, Obama! from Mr. Juneteenth
a note from my comrade, Mr. Juneteenth:
“Greetings,
There will be no cheat in this election.
No FEAR.
Man is not in control of the outcome this time.
Respect, responsibility, accountability, productivity and peace now dominate the landscape.
History is no longer a casualty of manufactured disrespect.
History shall reflect an unheralded transparency that shall expose those who continue to defile it.
The only vote that matters is the one in which history triumphed over ignorance and disbelief in this time when it is needed most.
You shall witness the greatness of respect and goodness that tip the scales of injustice, you shall witness a landslide that will co-join history to repair a world.
Respectfully,
Mr. Juneteenth”

Juneteenth is America’s 2nd Independence Day celebration. Americans of African descent were trapped in the tyranny of enslavement on the country’s first “4th of July”, 1776, Independence Day. We honor our ancestors, Americans of African descent, who heard the news of freedom and celebrated with great joy and jubilation, on the “19th of June”, Juneteenth, 1865.
It took over 88 years for the news of freedom to be announced in Southwest Texas, over two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Lincoln.
The National Juneteenth Holiday Campaign has worked diligently for several years to establish legislation in 29 states to recognize Juneteenth as a state holiday or state holiday observance, the District of Columbia, as well as the Congress of the United States. This has been a great accomplishment for the “Modern Juneteenth Movement” in America, reaching far beyond the establishment of Juneteenth as a state holiday in the place were it all began, in Texas, first celebrated in 1980.
Together we will see Juneteenth become a National Holiday in America!
