Still a bit of a cynic on any "emancipation day" across the world, but i'm coming around. I'm looking at it as why the **** should I thank you for no longer enslaving my people? when it should be thank goodness my people are no longer enslaved.
Also because there was still slavery and indentured servitude beyond these dates.
Just acknowledgement is a step in the right direction.
We're never gonna be able to take a leap towards progress.
But we can celebrate the steps.
Thats just my opinion.
