I did not know what Juneteenth was and neither did most black people until recently.

Yea... definitely has become more known over the last years because of social media.

Hey bugtymer did you know:

In 1654 Anthony Johnson was the first person in the colonies to own a slave for life legally (John Casor) and not as punishment for a felony. John Casor was a black indentured servant and up until that point Africans (and Europeans who entered into servitude) were not slaves but indentured servants who became free after their contracts were fulfilled. After John Casor, the flood gates of lifetime slavery opened.

Oh yeah, Anthony Johnson was a free black man. Oops.

What do you think about that?
