California Democrat notes Texas holiday

After ordering the removal of portraits of four former House speakers, Nancy Pelosi “noted that Friday is Juneteenth, honoring the day in 1865 when many African Americans learned of the end of slavery after the Civil War. She called Juneteenth ‘a beautiful and proud celebration of freedom for African Americans…’” 

Yep. And Cinco de Mayo (which also began in Texas) is Mexico’s Independence Day.

June 19, 1865, was the day slaves in Texas learned they were free, the announcement made in Galveston by the Union commander of occupation forces. Since then, June 19 has been celebrated by blacks in Texas.

Removal of the portraits means those men never existed.
