I doubt few modern so-called "conservatives " are a fraction as erudite at this self-made gentleman of letters.

Sure, in Texas. But for most that had been slaves, it's a bit earlier.
Show me any articles on Juneteenth anywhere on the interwebs mentioning Juneteenth before 2017. And the article above doesn't even mention it.
It's a new thing. There is an attempt just in the last few years to give the whole Juneteenth thing "legs". I ain't buyin' it. But if I lived in Texas, I'd take it at least a bit more seriously.
I suppose the Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian, et-al need their own Fourth of July too, huh? What date do you suggest, and why?
People need to learn my mantra and they will have a lot more joy in their life: Learn from the past, live in the present. Prepare for the future.
