Day 24 of the Reopening Epic
Jun. 19th, 2020 01:33 pmJune 18, 2020
Today is the 155 anniversary of Juneteenth which is the end of chattel slavery in the United States. The emancipation proclamation had freed them two and half years before it was known official in Texas. The 13th amendment abolished slavery in the United States and its territories.
I support a federal holiday for Juneteenth. It is an important moment in American history that needs to be recognized and celebrated. New York finally got on board this year after ignoring it up to now.
Today I have a Doctor’s appointment that was delayed due to COVID-19. I have my hand sanitizer and mask and tissues ready to go.
Later Caroline and I are going to run errands that we do once a week with an added visit to the fabric store and, possibly, the craft store.
I am grateful for things that help my overall health.
