We first celebrated Juneteenth about 25 years ago in Houston, Texas, where they took off work, had parties, recited the Emancipation Proclamation, lonnnng before it was declared a national holiday.
When I attempted to introduce it to my suburban church, there was a big outcry, "No! We can't do that out here." Amazing.
Sometimes you just have to leave people where they are. Harriet did.
