June 19 This date marks the Juneteenth National Freedom Day. Celebrated on June 19, Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. www.aaregistry.com/detail.php?id=240
There was no big celebration in town this afternoon as there was last year. Congress passed a resolution to apologize for slavery. No reparations of course.
The sun shone today!! I went out to Roxborough for errands. Got a new phone. It takes pictures!! Gonna sit down and read the book to figure how to work the phone. It's a BIG upgrade from my old one.
So sorry to hear of the death of our best local sportscaster, Gary Papa.
