The background music is absolutely terrible
Facts 😂
Put it on closed captioning.
You right
At the end of day we are still not free think about it
Thanks for this!!!!! its a shame people will complain and criticize other that finding the good in something 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Hard to listen to this video with the music so loud. It needs to be toned down quite a bit.
💯
It doesn't matter anyway😂
Anyone else finding the background music distracting and unfitting?
The background music is really loud and distracting from whta the professor is saying. What a bummer.
Put it on closed captioning.
This is about to get a lot more views
Lol, definitely
Here we go
@@StillOmarGelacio More division.
The problem with this video is it says there is a ongoing struggle against racism as if that is even an major issue facing minorities in this decade.
I'm black & I hate how they're victimizing us.
If someone is racist and its bothering you, how about you just ignore them ?
I personally would love to meet a racist and have a discussion to figure out why they are that way.
Yup
History should be shared among all who seek education, prosperity, and avoid conflicting information. Thank you for this all these historic stories.
America Celebrates Juneteenth, The Day Republicans Freed All The Democrats' Slaves
@@FireBladeRR-RSPso why are Republicans trying to preserve the statues of slave owners and why are so the Republican still flying the Confederate flag I'm going to assume that you're not dumb but it's really hard to when you make statements like this
@@afrolore7462 snowflake… trying to erase what was the norm around the world 175-250 years ago is just idiotic.
All creeds and races had slaves including Africans.. do some research… times change… slavery was abolished by Republicans from the Democrats plantation… your worried about a confederate flag?? Wow … maybe you should go to your safe room and wait for some reparations… since you are currently still a slave and victim…
You people are really brainwashed…
BTW the original post is 100% correct but obviously it hurt your feelings..
When are we gonna see a Native American president ?
To be a president in America, you need to be American.
Gotta fight for it like my people continue to push for equality!! Close mouths don’t get fed
@@chocolateamethyst that’s like letting native Americans be the president of China. It doesn’t make since…
When it's to the Democrat's advantage and it helps keep them in power.
@@myataylor2599 Forign policy says different, US is in places it should not be.
Today is a better day than yesterday.. lots of work to do. Happy Juneteenth!
Native American Indian genocide 1492-????, Black man crowding in front of the Native American again!!! History will remember.
I'm thrilled that it was made a federal holiday!😊
What more do black people want jesus
@You TubeSucks but that month is not really treated as anything special we get no time off or paid leave or anything as other special days got like July 4th
@You TubeSucks wdym this is the bare minimum every literal thing has a month but something as important as the end of centuries of slavery deserves a day
The music is too loud.
The emancipation proclamation only freed slaves in confederate states. The union used the term "indentured servant" to hold on to their slaves until 1872, seven years later than the south. History Channel won't tell the full story.
The 13th Amendment rendered indentured servitude illegal in the entire country in 1865. It is true that the Emancipation Proclamation didn't free Northern slaves but I don't see why that would be a reason to not celebrate a holiday based around slaves being freed. I don't take people seriously when they claim that the fact that there were slave owning founding fathers permanently tarnishes America, it's just as ridiculous to claim we shouldn't celebrate the freedom of former slaves because the choices made by Lincoln or other union leaders
@@Shivemaster so you agree that the more important date of the Emancipation Proclamation or the thirteen amendment should be celebrated? Thanks. Those dates are January 1st 1863 and December 6th 1865. Or the fact that 360,000 white people died freeing the black slaves? Juneteenth is a small part of the history but to ignore important history is a shame. Subd it's because Lincoln was a republican and democrats can't stand that.
Yup they only tell you what they want us to know.. there’s stuff still hidden, we still dont know everything. 💯 F- Lincoln too he wasn’t right either idc what he supposedly did
Juneteenth is such a step backwards.
Music too dame loud!!!!!
Yes it is it just don't below on the video
@@MotivatedMiawhat does that even mean?
There’s no freedom unless all people are free…be mindful of this
I double what a lot of others have said - audio is a struggle to hear you over and I know someone with bad headphones wouldn't hear you one bit.
Otherwise, thank you for discussing this topic and explaining more about it's origins and history.
I dream of the realization of the unity of Africa, whereby its leaders combine in their efforts to solve the problems of this continent. I dream of our vast deserts, of our forests, of all our great wildernesses.

or they can stop telling everyone wer different every day and have us working together but that wouldn't be profitable...
No one wants slaves that stand together white black purple green...
They must all feed the machine
She should have mentioned the brave Generals name that traveled for months to let everyone know that slavery was abolished.
We went from slavery to Modern day slavery
"And encourages them to learn more about africam american history"
When President Biden made it a national Holiday i felt i needed to learn what it is. So yeah, you nailed it
same here.
Exactly! History in the making.
Smh. Ya’ll are so blind. Trump tried to do this a while ago and you act like Biden is some black American savior. The dude is more racist than trump. It’s just sad that you guys don’t care about black history until King Biden suddenly starts caring.
@@itsyoure9802 Answer this. "why do all the white supremacists like trump and hate Biden?" Probably just policies, right? Lol

This is a fantastic video, but the music is so loud on it, it makes it hard to hear your message. Wonder if you would consider posting a version with the music down lower? (Like you have it at the very end -- that was perfect). This is a fantastic resource to educate people on Juneteenth.

Happy Juneteenth Everyone 2023
❤️🖤💚
👍
I think the narrative that Enslaved Africans didn't know they they were free as opposed to the fact they were held hostage by enslavers in defiance of the law. The military was required to free them and enforce the law of their freedom. Black people were informed of their freedom but restricted from exercising their freedom.
I need a Juneteenth flag emoji.
Yeah, so I can burn it, I hope!!

The history? Because I've never heard of Junetennth in my life.
It’s a Texas holiday.
Happy Juneteenth even tho we are still slaves economically we gotta do better
My thoughts exactly
study more and you will be better
@@JoseChavez-ql8oi it’s much deeper
Exactly we still have democrats. Only reason dems were made was to keep slaves. Democrat party should of been abolished.
Anyone under the democrats are dumb or super evil.
Nobody is a slave economically everyone in America can be anything they want to be there's black lawyers doctors owning there own businesses that makes no sense your wrong
I hope every household commentates Juneteenth as a special holiday.
Can you turn up the music some?
Thank You Republicans especially ALL the fallen ones like President Lincoln for winning in 1865 & enacting the Emancipation Proclamation, 13th, 14th & 15th Amendments💥✨💫🌟⭐
Juneteenth is a federal holiday but lots of employers don’t recognize it as a holiday or for holiday pay
Well put.
As a member of a minority, I am always proud of what my ancestors did to give me the opportunity for a better life. My grandparents went through a lot of difficulties. My father never graduated high school to help support the family. My mother put off education to help too but eventually went back to night school to become a nurse. I worked all kinds of hours so my son could get a college degree and be better than me.
Looking back is a good reminder of what our parents went through but staying in the past only hinders the next generation's ability to move forward.
"...staying in the past only hinders the next generation's ability to move forward." So we should really stop this whole 4th of July nonsense, am I right about it? Honestly, those Confederate flags and statues need to go, because, they're all about the past, aren't they? We should get rid of this Veteran's Day thing too, because that's all in the past. That 9/11 thing? Never remember that anymore.
It's really funny how the demand to forget the past never seems to apply to White America.
ForzaJersey beautiful!!!
You are not a member of a minority. Show me the land of Minority. You are a member of the African race.
@@the5-starreview871 sentence 1: Wrong. Sentence 2: HUH? Sentence 3: No.
Ever heard of the 13th 14th and 15th amendment? The ones that freed the slaves, made them citizens and gave them the right to vote. Hhhhhm I wonder if we some how forgotten about it? Hhhhhhhmmmmmmm.
THANK YOU
Having learned a lesson from June teenth, I'm going to be celebrating Independence Day on the th of July.
WHAT ABOUT THE 12TH OF NOREMEMBER ? I GUESS NO ONE REMEMBERS THE 12TH OF NOREMEMBER....SAD
Juneteenth does not represent the end of slavery in America, as it is often erroneously reported. It specifically notes the end of slavery in Texas. Slavery continued to thrive in several border states that were not affected by the Emancipation Proclamation. Delaware was the last to free its nearly 2,000 slaves on Dec. 6, 1865, six months after Texas.
I haven’t fact checked you nor will I. I trust my distrust for your fact checking prowess, but you could have said, it really kinda doesn’t mean much if it’s bound to mean so much of so many different things compounded into a random over politicized holiday - mind you: Juneteenth Independence Day. Which is contradictory, Juneteenth claims the slavery endured around the borders of the Union. In Texas no less. Independence from? Independence from the constitution?
I dream of the realization of the unity of Africa, whereby its leaders combine in their efforts to solve the problems of this continent. I dream of our vast deserts, of our forests, of all our great wildernesses.

Yup the thirteenth amendment was ratified on December 6th 1865
America Celebrates Juneteenth, The Day Republicans Freed All The Democrats' Slaves
It celebrates the day I drive around with rebel flag on my Maga truck
Juneteenth fact by Fred X,
There’s two parts of slavery , physical and mental, and the passage of law making Juneteenth a federal holiday represented the physical part of slavery. But the mental part of slavery didn’t end until 2019 when black people knew enough information as a whole to declare being woke- so go back and reconsider Juneteenth Blackfolk and representatives of them.
I’m celebrating “Garfield the Cat Day”. June 19 every year. I’m eating lasagna in his honor. I only celebrate holidays that are all inclusive. 🇺🇸
I'm partial to Heathcliff! Cause he's a Tabby..
music is way too loud big dogs
Just another way to promote racism if you think about it
@The Janitor Yep!
That's your own choices.
The bg music is too loud!
Somebody let the sound editor off his leash for this one- very loud background music-
The discussion in the comments is about the sounds in the backround rather than the significance of Juneteenth 🤦🏾♂️
Thank you Professor Chatelain, I plan to show this video to my class. This day should have been declared a national holiday a long time ago.
Make sure you educate them on the DEMOCRATS role in slavery.
make sure you show Birth of a Nation too then
Slavery ended in the South on Juneteenth but continued in the North until the 13th amendment 6 months later... The emancipation proclamation did not apply to the North. It's really just a Texas related holiday not sure why we chose it as a national holiday from a history perspective and this video didn't help.
Lots of misinformation out there relating to this, most is because so many people tell different stories that it is tough to remember what is true and what is false. Reinventing history seems to be hip these days.
@@uncledude9424 lmao
There was no party switch. Rather, a voter switch in the 30s.
"background music" should be that, in the background. quite distracting. if not for the captions, some of this would be indecipherable.
I had to set through two 60 second ads to see this
Great video, but the music in the background makes it difficult to fully hear the speaker.
What happened to the "nine" between "June" and "teenth"? Juneteenth could be any day from June 13th through June 19th. DUH
Most holidays have names that don’t directly denote the exact day (Presidents’ Day for example). Juneteenth is just It’s name… did you really think everyone but you forgot to put a “nine”…..?
At least they didn't give it a goofy name like "Presidents' Teenth Day". 🤣
You’re right! it should be a whole week since you can’t figure out which day it falls on. :)
@@kennywright2934 Let's rename MLK day as Januaryteenth so its name can be equally opaque and goofy.
The date is the 19th,ove the yrs the June and 19th were combined , and now you have Juneteenth
Cool
Vikings Sesson 7 ? :(
All human beings are created in Gods image
Deities don’t exist.
History channel is just my childhood memory now Never to be mentioned ire real time
I never understood why we were so happy to know when they finally let us know after two additional years of slavery that we were free. Two more years of all that slaves endured for two extra years?
On some videos why do they limit the comments???
@The Janitor ?
I had to watch this for history
Can yall lower the background music so I can hear her clearly please 🙏🏽
On the first-ever national holiday this happened to me: Target run early morning, got 9-11 items in the cart, I walked away from the cart to the next isle to grab cheese ..1 min max, next thing I see 2 African American woman clearing out my items from my cart to the adjacent shelf and walking away with my cart. So I confronted them asking did they just took my cart, 1 of them was like " YOU left it unattended, so I took it, you white man!"..... so much for Juneteenth
Epic video thank you for highlighting key points regarding historical events which must be remembered & never repeated again. Mankind has yet to learn from past experiences!
I dream of the realization of the unity of Africa, whereby its leaders combine in their efforts to solve the problems of this continent. I dream of our vast deserts, of our forests, of all our great wildernesses.

Just skip over the Emancipation Proclamation, the thirteenth amendment, and the 360,000 white people that died freeing the black slaves.
A little better history lesson about what actually happened on June 19th but it still doesn't make sense as a national holiday. Simply a gesture to show something is being done for the black community when nothing is actually being done
is better the nothing i guess...
What actually been done for the Black American community besides passing of the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments?
I think making it a national holiday is an important step. It can keep that piece of our history in the collective minds of Americans, or bring it to the forefront every year (same as July 4th or maybe less-so thanksgiving)
I hope it helps to change hearts and minds to bring about more systematic change or potential reparations.
And nothing will be "done" except these days and events will be made to highlight a reason your not achieving your dreams.
I would be insulted if someone labeled me as different because of the color of my skin.. if someone said to me .. "well your black and you know your ancestors were treated terrible.. by these other people.. so you need me to make it fair to you.. vote for me!.." that's what it is today.. your a victim and I want to fight for you.
Your not a victim.. you can have anything and everything you want provided you work for it, have the right attitude and a little luck helps.
Your heart is what makes you who you are .. not the color of your skin.
@@mikemccormack3997 Yeah. Your not a victim alright. Good thing HS diplomas aren’t required for YT comments.
Who owned slaves?
Can't hear what yes saying over the loud music ..🤦🏽♂️
😔There were still slaves in the 1930s-1940s smh so sad how the human race can be! God have Marcy on us! 😪🙏
AMERICA is the greatest country on Earth. What slaves where there? All I remember is discrimination.
There are still slaves in the world.
Apparently you people that commented really don’t know what I mean 🤦🏼♀️ I meant black salves! Susan if you want to get literal 🤷🏼♀️ anyone that doesn’t have a genuine wholehearted intimate relationship with Jesus Christ is a slave to this world period. 😪 wake up people Jesus is coming for his bride seek him while he still can be found! Stop being slaves to this world be set apart! Sholom may peace and true knowledge be with you all through Jesus Christ! 🙏❤️🔥🤝
@@susanwojcickisnicetwin I'm talking about America. God bless. Btw

Thank you for creating and sharing this meaningful part of history
Is it meaningful? Is it?

@@anwarabdullah6723 it means be a productive hard working upstanding member of the community, raise your children to be the same; be healthy and happy. Stop making bad decisions and choices and blaming others. This isn't a race issue it's meant for all including myself and mine.
Oh, so you're going to be an oppressor instead? SMH...
You get on the history channel explaining Juneteenth to go on a racist rant?
The background music is so annoying! Whoever made this video is ridiculous! Come on now!
America could be a much better place today, if all white Americans had given equal opportunity for all black people since the first day of abolition ... but they didn’t. Now it’s what it’s... never is to late ☮️
They know. That’s why they hate talking about anything related to black people.
Good piece. Music is way too loud. I can barely hear her.
Juneteenth reminds us of several dates in a timeline. Makes zero sense.
My birthday is on June 19 and I’m African American, that’s a plus! 👑🎂❤🖤💚🇺🇸
What you mean by the end of slavery did not travel to Texas. Correction, the slaves were not told by their owners that slavery was over. They hid the truth for TWO years. This right here blows me. 1. She’s a Historian. 2. She left out key points. 3. She just said, “the end of slavery did not travel to Texas. 5. That right there is confusion and miseducation. 6. Someone would run with that and tell others that slavery was over and did not travel to Texas. So keep people in slavery was not their fault. What number am I at? Anyway, I forgot because this is laughable. This is why we celebrate Juneteenth, for the freed two years later after slavery was abolished. For civil rights, brown vs. board of education, Jim Crow laws, the Black Wall Street, Emmett Till, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Marcus Garvey…just to name a few. Shoot, we were still in slavery until the 70s with segregation, redlining, keep blacks from jobs, and benefits in poverty; it’s sad. TELL THE TRUTH!!!!
YESSSSSSS!!
Exactly. Is this something to “celebrate”? It’s horrible. Idk how I feel about it all. Ados have other significant days to commemorate. Bittersweet
Yes….two years. The news came from the Emancipation Proclamation, which was written in 1863. Slaveowners hid this knowledge for two years until the enslaved found out….in 1865, as said in the video. Wow, math is cool
@@CA-zf5kk how is the knowledge of freedom horrible?
We were still enslaved in Delaware and Kentucky until December of that year.
That was one town not all of TEXAS , correct??
Worth mentioning that the Union Army brought the news to all peoples still enslaved. Thousands of people died to ensure this freedom. Freedom for slaves became the law of the land April 8, 1864 and January 31 1865 when it became the 13 amendment of the Constitution. Why not celebrate freedom on the Law giving Day?
I agree with your thoughtful sentiment, but the 13th Amendment did not become law of the land until Dec 6, 1865 when it was ratified by the required 3/4 States.
Everyone has their own history , their lineage and after covid19 I had questions about my linage , because my family is very small, it's not huge like some, I look Hispanic and treated Hispanic , but I'm much more than Hispanic ,I was born in a racist town in Texas and they hid some things, because they were afraid their children would be treated different , I just found out at 60 yrs old what my fathers linage was, a military Spaniard came from the Canary Islands and he had a woman that was a slave with him , she was not a slave to him ,she was more like a guide to him, and when his wife could not have anymore children , he started having children with her and that's why my DNA shows Portuguese and sub-Saharan African , the small Texas town would make all the black people eat outside in the back of a restaurant and when my father had me , he wanted to move , but I was still treated differently no matter where we moved , I looked alittle like her, I still don't know her name, and no one will tell me , when I save money , I want to go into that town and ask questions , the Hispanics and others that are white skin , are still racist
Juneteenth should be just an Texas holiday
True! Like Texas is not part of America rite?
I just wanted to go to the bank after 2 so...,.
Love this blessings
Outstanding knowledge and vid! 🙏🏾❤️🥰
Freed but they had to be told more than once ?? 😮
Juneteenth they will all have their celebration and festivities and then the next day you will be seeing how many of them shot or stabbed each other
this is going to sound controversial but if the founding fathers also had slaves should we still admire them and treat them like good examples of leadership
Angry Bulldog Gaming ...you must look at history in the context of that time, not by present day standards
Move to a communist country and ask that question again. You have it so easy, that you have to make hardship up.
It's our nation's history and no matter what they shouldn't be taking down because it reminds what are nation comes from. You get rid of history than what.. lost knowledge..
Wasn’t Abe a Repub?
OK...someone help me here.....Im 66 and juneteenth started in the 80s ! Right?
Mississippi didn't formally end slavery until march 16th, 1995.
LoL!!
Happy Juneteenth!
History is very important but too much was made of this, more manipulation and a day off for federal workers.
One good thing about it - they picked my birthday!
Yeah. Couldn’t be freeing the enslaved. Let’s celebrate that it’s your bday. Y’all hate us so much you’re complaining about a day off.
It brings tears to my eyes to know,as an American,that the nation,finally advanced to the end of slavery,at that time.If they could advance the principles of Freedom 160 years ago,do we still have what takes to continue on that path today?Still more lives lost then,than all our other wars combined.
Awwww
Hmmm are you ill? Last time I checked we didn't have slaves.
Deuteronomy 7:6
[6]For thou art an holy people vnto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people vnto himselfe, aboue all people that are vpon the face of the earth.
biggest mistake we ever made was ending slavery cause look what it got us.

Whoever mixed the music to literally be as loud as the POC speaker, yo Mamas disappointed. It's a travesty to do this woman, so empowered at this exact moment, like and to have to compete with some background music
You are wrong. Abraham Lincoln signed the original emancipation proclamation on the 22nd day of September year of 1862. Not in 1863.
Worthwhile information- thanks - the DJ got his way by mixing the background music to loud.
