I woke up this morning and realized that I had only dreamed that I had blogged last night. My apologies.

What  meant to blog About was that today was  “Juneteenth” June 19 was always a holiday when I grew up. And celebrates the day in 1965 when black  slaves in Texas were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation . That  started the emancipation all across   the confederate south. It was always a big day with parades and stuff. We always had picnics where we ate watermelon which I was that was a little bit strange.

We also sang songs like “we will overcome” and “swing low Sweet chariot”   Which doesn’t run as well as it should… Should be “swing low Sweet cheerio and ”

I was remember thinking about juneteenth  as like Passover for black people. I’m not sure Juneteenth   IS  still as big a deal in the south… But I hope it is

Night all ,night Sam
