I hope it covers the name cause it’s a pretty dumb sounding name like if I had to guess everything would be focused on the 16th since june is the sixth month

I ain’t watching a 19 minute video about it, I’m in the comment section for the summary…

I just like using comments like bookmarks because I always forget about stuff I save or star

I was just saying I hope it’s something covered since I couldn’t watch it at the time, honestly I’ve only started hearing about juneteenth in the last couple years

He does! It’s not a number that black people made up.

It’s literally just a portmanteau of June Nineteenth.
Portmanteaus are super common and lots of fun. I have no idea why you’d take issue with this particular one.

Portmanteau is a fun word as well!

Using the 16th would also be a portmanteau but the nineteenth is almost rhyming which might be some other special thing

It’s not like the day was chosen randomly. June 19th is when the emancipation proclamation was read in Texas, the last state to hear it.
