Juneteenth is Being Overshadowed by Pride Month

Juneteenth is a national holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the U.S. (June 19, 1865). In the month of June, there's: World Bicycle Day (June 3), National Donut Day (June 3), D-Day (June 6), Father's Day (June 20), and National Men's Health Week (June 13-19). None of these, or other observances in June have overshadowed Juneteenth as the sinful celebration of Pride Month. Pride Month has become heavily politicalized. Pride is taking over everything from TV to food (Burger King's Pride Whooper). Black people, it's up to us to promote and teach our children the significance of Juneteenth as well as Black music (June is also Black Music Month).
