This past week we saw the celebration of Juneteenth come alive with coincidence. June 19th was also the 40th year after the beating death in Detroit of Vincent Chin.
Vincent Who?
Imagine the number of people who still don’t know either Juneteenth or Vincent Chin. This is the coincidence of ignorance that runs rampant in America.
It also signifies the importance of history and diversity.
This is the second year since Juneteenth became a federal holiday. And it seems the basic story will always be worth repeating until each and every one of us can repeat why the day is so special.
