Juneteenth is a distraction: Honor the 13th Amendment instead ...Middle East

For the second time in two years, Congress is pushing to declare Juneteenth, a poignant but minor event in African-American history, a federal holiday. The proposal is based on a misreading of the history of slavery, the United States and Black achievement.
