Not sure this made it to the list as you sent it to the list owner. :) I would have thought the same a few days ago, but have since been schooled a bit. We're going to be releasing an article real soon about how Juneteenth takes away from the experiences of black folks today. Celebrating it sounds too much like "Mission Accomplished" when it's not. --- In Liberty, Ryan Graham Vice Chairman, Libertarian Party of Georgia On 2018-06-19 22:35, Nathan Wilson wrote:
Today is Juneteenth. It's the day in 1865 when the last slaves in the Confederacy were freed, after Union General Gordon Granger climbed up a Galveston balcony and shouted: "The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labor."
(Slaves in Kentucky and Delaware, which were not covered by the Emancipation Proclamation, were freed later upon the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment, on December 18, 1865).
I propose that Libertarians endorse the effort to make today's date a national Emancipation Day holiday. A day when people became freer than the day before should be commemorated.
Ryan, Just curious about your source who believes Juneteenth is a negative. I would completely disagree. I was the Co-creator if the City of Douglasville/Douglas county’s Juneteenth celebration and the event organizer for 5 years. It is passionately supported and endorsed by the black community all over the state. If we aren’t going to make a statement supporting it, I would highly recommend not creating an article that states the opposite. Just my thoughts. Stephanie Aylworth

FYI, it looks like Team Smith (and maybe other caucuses) are trying to get slates for the LNC. Do we know who is running for our region? Do we want to seek balance based on who gets chair? On Wed, Jun 20, 2018 at 10:17 AM, Stephanie Aylworth < stephonegoodeye@gmail.com> wrote:

From what I know, there is no Region 2 Rep declared.
How do slates work? And aren't they generally frowned upon by the delegation? --- In Liberty, Ryan Graham Vice Chairman, Libertarian Party of Georgia On 2018-06-20 16:50, Nathan Wilson wrote:

They are trying to have a candidate in each region. Slates also refer to a full sheet. SO they are trying to hold all levels. Kokesh is trying to do the same, curious id Smith is Kokesh's man. Anyone in the Mesis caucus to see who the players are? On Wed, Jun 20, 2018 at 4:53 PM, Ryan Graham <ryan.graham@lpgeorgia.com> wrote:

Hell, I thought Smith/Merced was a slate, as often as I see the 2 linked together.
