Wow, our holiday is no...Thanks Anali for the info. <BR/><BR/>Wow, our holiday is now recognized in half the states.<BR/><BR/>I've been to, past and around Emancipation Park in houston so many time I've lost count. <BR/><BR/>I remember my grandmother Tama taking me, my brother and my sisters to various Juneteenth parades when the parade route used to go down Dowling Street in the heart of Houston's Third Ward.<BR/><BR/>Now the parade has moved downtown since it became an official holiday. We even had one point in time in which there were TWO Houston parades. ;0<BR/><BR/>Time to go chow down on that barbecue and strawberry soda.Monica Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09702533200851174728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20389448.post-91795107869587747862007-06-19T09:25:00.000-05:002007-06-19T09:25:00.000-05:00Hi Monica and Happy Juneteenth to you! Great post!...Hi Monica and Happy Juneteenth to you! Great post! I was not aware of the parks that were purchased since I've never been to Texas. <BR/><BR/>I just did a post today also. Don't forget to add my state, Massachusetts, to the list that celebrate! We are number 25, so we're half way there. ; )Lisa Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08096947438461486505noreply@blogger.com
