“Today San Franciscans come together to celebrate Juneteenth, the day commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. For the first time, this monumental day has been recognized as a national holiday that will forever commemorate the lives and struggle of those who have come before us.

I remember cowboys riding their horses through crowds of performers, both young and old, re-enacting the emancipation of our ancestors.
