COMMUNITY Juneteenth Thread



The weird thing about this is that it's actually reasonable to have a Soul Food menu in commemoration of Juneteenth given that Soul Food is inherently African American in origin. lol They've used food stereotypes to mock us for so long that its literally impossible to celebrate black contribution to American food culture without it looking racist.

Opal Lee, known as the "grandmother of Juneteenth" who never gave up the fight to make the holiday a national day of observance, led a massive crowd on Saturday in a 2 1/2-mile walk to downtown Forth Worth, Texas. NBC affiliate KXAS reported that the 2 1/2 miles represented the number of years that it took for slaves in Texas to learn of their freedom.
