Oh boy!!!!!
Juneteenth is usually good for a couplea shootings or gang brawls here in Denver. I think it takes second-place sandwich for me, right between Columbus Day and Cinco de Mayo.

Just went to Buffalo NY's Juneteenth festival. My GF pointed out that she and I were the only white people there, of thousands, with the exception of a mixed couple, a stand of Scientologists, and the police who were way to eager to draw their nightsticks. I thought it was a great festival, great funk music for me, and great African jewelery for my GF. I was disappointed that more of white Buffalo folk werent there. I thought that we were past this...

Growing up in New York I never heard of such a holiday. With strong ties between Colorado and Texas, apparently they have been celebrating it for years.. The year I lived in Denver, I went and had a good time. Good food as I remember. |

I especially like how they made up a new word for it that was easier for some folks to pronounce. |
