What is Juneteenth? This is a holiday describing the end of slavery in a way for some. There was a time that some plantation owners gave certain freedoms to their slaves. Some saw ways to improve their standard of living and learned what it took to become free and learn to read and write for there were black schools even though they were well hidden, but for some learning gave them a chance to be FREE in a way. To be honest I am not sure about this for I was trying to remember from a program I remember watching a while ago. Juneteenth is kind of controversial depending on circumstances and what you may believe. We all need to feel free and to show understanding of all. The Lord Jesus made us all in his image whether black, white, red or yellow.

Holy Bible
What can one say about the Holy Bible? The Holy Bible no matter what faith or edition that you read from really does say the same things. The Lord is the one true leader that we all need to follow. This is a book of books from the beginning to the end that show many Revelations to one's living their own lives. It is also a book about many families and their issues; governmental leaders and what they do that is not right but seems to work out in many ways good and bad; how to make friends and keep them and work along with your enemies, and many more stories that one can have help in understanding how to live their lives. The Holy Bible is one great 'Good Book'.

I love this. It's such a clear understanding of Juneteenth. But the only problem (not with your writing) is that the holiday in itself is unclear. People automatically assume that it is all about black slaves. (maybe it is) But there were many black slave owners .... their slaves included blacks and Irish immigrants. Did you know that many Irish immigrants were treated worse than black slaves? Juneteenth holiday should be amended to include everyone who'd been enslaved. What's your opinion?
very good
