It's #juneteeth today, a great time to celebrate a historic moment of liberation while also reflecting on how America is still trying to reverse it.

BMO: it’s a quiet Friday with U.S. #markets closed for #Juneteeth. So far, the #USD index and the #loonie ($1.415) are both a touch weaker.

@Starcade Not that I celebrate it but I wouldn't be surprised if #Drumpf doesn't issue an #ExecutiveOrder revoking #Juneteeth's status as a Federal holiday. 🤦♂️

"Juneteenth may mark the day in 1865 when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, found out they had been freed, but thousands of people in Oklahoma are still fighting for full citizenship in the tribal nations that once held their ancestors in bondage.
Several tribes practiced slavery, and five in Oklahoma—The Cherokee, Seminole, Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Muscogee nations—signed reconstruction treaties with the U.S. in 1866 abolishing it three years after President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. They granted the formerly enslaved, known commonly as Freedmen, citizenship within their respective tribes.
Only one of those tribes, the Cherokee Nation, continues to fully grant the rights of citizenship.
For descendants of people who were enslaved by tribal nations, Juneteenth is both a celebration of freedom for people of African descent and a reminder of their struggle to be fully embraced by the Indigenous communities with whom they share history and in many cases ancestry.
Traditionally, Freedmen in the Muscogee Nation celebrate emancipation day on August 4, marking when the tribe’s council drew up a law to declare them free, said Rhonda Grayson, the founder and director of the Oklahoma Indian Territory Museum of Black Creek Freedmen History.
She traces her lineage to formerly enslaved people listed on a 1906 U.S. census of Native Americans who had been forcibly removed to Oklahoma. Known as the Dawes Rolls, the census created two lists – those who appeared Native and those who appeared Black. Those with African ancestry were put on the Freedmen rolls, although many also had Native ancestry.
Last week, the Muscogee Nation Supreme Court heard arguments in a case brought by Grayson and Jeff Kennedy, who are fighting for their citizenship rights and recognition within the Muscogee Nation.
'Our ancestors were Muscogee people of African descent,' said Damario Solomon-Simmons, an attorney representing Grayson and Kennedy whose ancestor was also a Freedmen in the tribe. 'We were transformed into ‘Freedmen’ by the Dawes Commission."
Their ancestors were also forced on the Trail of Tears, and after the Civil War they were granted citizenship and served in the tribe’s legislative bodies, Kennedy said.
'We believe that the (Muscogee) Nation would not be what it is today without the bloodshed and tears of those African people,' he said."

#Juneteeth has nothing to do with “woke” at all
Not inheritly, but it has been co-opted by the woke movement unfortunately

@TonyStark
Thanks, Tony.
It would make my day to see lots of white people post about #Juneteeth and give us the day off.
