REAL ART (and politics and culture)

REAL ART (and politics and culture):
"...ending slavery was likely the most moral action ever undertaken by our nation. Juneteenth should be celebrated by all Americans; the holiday represents our collective desire for truth and justice--in that respect, Juneteenth is as American as the Fourth of July."

He's right you know.
We should all celebrate Juneteenth, MLK Day, May Day, Gay Pride (remember Stonewall) and any other day that celebrates or commemorates an advance in the liberation, liberty and respect for and of any and all peoples...
These days are true humanist holidays - not based on religion or statism, but the advancement of the human condition.
These are the days that really make a difference.

Even if they don't mean that I get candy.

We can keep Easter as long as we make
it about Spring and rebirth and fertility...
and I still get candy.
