Making Juneteenth a national holiday is important because it provides a larger platform to re-educate the public about its history and celebrate the end of slavery.

“now making juneteenth the national holiday is vital because many folks still don't know the history and a national holiday gives a bigger platform to re-educate and rejoice”

Juneteenth is a divisive holiday that is being used for political pandering rather than fostering national unity.

“Well, that's what sucks is it really is about separating races again and just making something up to be divisive.”

McAfee believes that Juneteenth is a massive and monumental holiday that everyone should celebrate, noting that it is great to celebrate any awesome event in American history.

“Anytime we get a chance to celebrate something awesome happening in our country, no matter how devastating it was leading into then we should certainly do that because we are lucky as hell to be here.”

Juneteenth is an important occasion that feels different and more impactful this year because of the ongoing national reckoning regarding justice.

“I think that is part of the reason why Juneteenth feels so incredibly appropriate and incredibly impactful this year and in this moment not to say that it hasn't been in the past because obviously it has been but there's something about what's happening right now this reckoning so to speak”

Juneteenth is a holiday that commemorates the end of slavery, yet it was not taught in standard American education.

“today as you know we'll be discussing Juneteenth it's the holiday that is commemorating the end of slavery when northern soldiers rode into Texas but the common misconception is that it actually marks the end of the Emancipation”

Media professionals should remain on the air during Juneteenth to raise awareness, educate listeners, and celebrate the holiday.

“I just felt like we should be here. Man, it's Junth. like Junth uh is not at the place where Fourth of July is and Memorial weekend is and uh Veterans Day and President's Day. I feel like we need to be on be on air celebrating this beautiful day, man.”

Juneteenth is an important occasion for celebration, family gatherings, and community panels that should be actively observed.

“I want to raise awareness to it. I want to you know talk to people about it. people who may not know what Junth is. Like, like why not take that opportunity?”
