  • Summary

  • June 19, otherwise known as Juneteenth, liberation day, and other names, commemorates the official nationwide enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation and what is largely accepted as the end of the American Civil War. This episode, the guys discuss the cultural and contemporary relevance of the holiday well over 100 years after its occurrence, and dive into why the holiday's unofficial title of "liberation day" may, indeed, be misleading.
