July 9, 2021 by frbillnicholas JUNETEENTH, SLAVERY & the 4TH OF JULY Podcast on Our Nation’s Founding and the Abolition of Slavery Without Independence Day there would be no Juneteenth to celebrate. Fr. Bill discusses the history of Independence Day and the Founding of our Nation in light of the new National Holiday of Juneteenth. He also discusses the fallacies of current accusations of our Nation’s Founding, how that Founding ensured the Abolition of Slavery, how Juneteenth at long last acknowledges that this is a Nation that Abolished Slavery, and therefore how there would be nothing to celebrate on Juneteenth without the National Founding we celebrate on July 4th.
