Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States.

And it's also my younger brother James' Birthday! Happy Birthday jajy1979, thanks for everything you do, in your own inimitable way!

It's also the birthday of King James I of England (1566), Lou Gehrig, Salman Rushdie, and unfortunately Paula Abdul.
