Ā Ā Ā Juneteenth was on Wednesday, June 19. Juneteenth is Independence Day or Freedom Day for African Americans. It is an American holiday that honors the June 19, 1865 announcement of the abolition of slavery in the U.S. state of Texas. More generally, it is the releasing of enslaved African Americans throughout the south in all the Confederate States of America.

Summer Camp teaches us lessons in etiquette, entrepreneurship and public speaking. Our last lesson was about chivalry. Ā We meet twice a week at the City of Lauderhill Historical Museum.
I am enjoying the experience. Ms. Jackie Vernon-Thompson is a great teacher.
