DESCRIPTION:(Sacramento, California)  On the way to 2024 California State Capitol 
 Juneteenth, throughout the Great State of California, we open the way to 
 renew efforts to align with Wednesday, June 19, 2024, our Federal Holiday 
 since 2021, at our Global Juneteenth Flag Rasing Ceremony  \n\nA couple 
 years ago we spoke out against the current reality of an "optional" 
 California Juneteenth Holiday, however future alignment may be on the 
 horizon in a year or so...  apart of future reparative justice notions 
 unfold.\n\nMany still need to confuse and fabricate a palatable "Black 
 Nationalism Story" during Juneteenth Celebrations to "turn-up" an end of 
 Spring party in the name of freedom.\n\nThe long and arduous journey toward 
 freedom; generations as prisoners of war, captive chattel slaves, 
 experience the slave masters whip; is only made worse by some leaders 
 desire to ignore or articulate the high cost, on bloody battles waged by 
 our USCT from California, who joined hand to hand combat, a high price for 
 Juneteenth freedom during our US Civil War.  \n\nWe must teach an authentic 
 truth and celebrate our unique journey toward freedom.\n\nWe must begin to 
 honor the nearly 1 million military soldiers both Confederate and Union 
 casualties along with untold civilian lives who perished preserving the 
 Union and creating an official end to Slavery in America, December 
 1865.\n\nAt some point, our authentic Journey from Slavery to Freedom 
 unique to California will told as the piecemeal "studies" open a path 
 forward.\n\nTogether, we can shine a bright spotlight on this 175th 
 Anniversary of 1849, the children of California should no longer be blinded 
 from "hidden figures" of California Pioneers of Pan African Ancestry by 
 "social engineering designs" we believe truth and reconciliation is 
 possible in 2024.\n\nSave the Date:  Noon, Monday, June 3, 2024, California 
 Juneteenth Flag Raising Ceremony aligning with National Juneteenth 
 Observance Foundation, global events.\n\nMichael Harris, Chair\nNational 
 Juneteenth Observance Foundation, Northern California\n(279) 207-9043\n
