i love history and just like to mention the i grew up in the Great State of Rhode Island and we abolished slavery in 1652…no typo…1652…two hundred and nine years before the Civil War (all slaves freed by 1672)
Instead of complaining some people have a month or day, why not check why and work to make enough progress so we don’t need it in the first place? We don’t have a penicillin day because only people too dumb to understand the Magic School Bus hate basic science.
Yes its another “made up” holiday, just like: Christmas, 4th of july, Memorial day, Labor day, Presidents day, Easter, Veterans day, Columbus Day, Halloween.

Amen, sir.
Voting for President Obama was the first time I voted for a Democrat. I never voted Republican after him.

Oppression takes many forms. Progress is still needed. May America continue to change for the better.

What did Obama ever do for “his people” besides exploit them for votes?

Another made up holiday – the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation should be the celebrated event.
