(Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday he would shift the date of an Oklahoma rally from June 19th, the date of the "Juneteenth" African-American freedom day, to June 20th out of respect for the holiday marking the emancipation of slaves in Texas.

“Many of my African American friends and supporters have reached out to suggest that we consider changing the date out of respect for this Holiday, and in observance of this important occasion and all that it represents,” Trump tweeted of the Tulsa campaign rally.

never heard of this holiday
I never had either, must be like Kwanzaa, some manufactured thing that everyone is supposed to learn.
why fixed it on the 19th in the first place?
Good question. The answer is probably "due to ignorance" and his "me first" attitude.
Lets not forget that the republicans are the ones who lead the way to end slavery... the first black congressional members were all republicans... and the entire north and union army was republican and laid down lives for the 13th, 14th, and 15th pretty much had 100% republican support and almost 0% democrat support
islam end slavery more than 1400 years ago
wow... that was an epic rant that proved absolutely nothing. It's no wonder why your party is losing. Are you a citizen of CHAZ?
 -- Buddha, over 2500 years ago plead for abolishing slavery. Great men think and act fast for the benefit of the ones who must be protected.
Lol .. He never stops with the horse manure!
