American flag and Juneteenth flag

 

As I was putting in today's date, I realized that today is Juneteenth.  My blog today isn't about gardening, it's about history.  

 

I have heard of Juneteenth, but didn't really know much about it, so I looked up, and learned some good stuff.  Here's my internet source:

I don't need to copy and paste the whole article, but it is very interesting, definitely worth the look-see.  I made it easy for you;  all you have to do is click on the link, and go read for yourself.  It's good to be informed.  
 

Thanks to Patty and Bill for putting up the Independence Day decorations in time to include the Juneteenth Independence.

 

It's important to celebrate our nation's holidays.  

 

HAPPY JUNETEENTH!!!
