Without a doubt, Juneteenth is one of the most significant days in history for all Blacks in American. In today’s episode, Mash, The SPEW God “drip drip” leads the team in moderation and educates the tribe on the history of slavery in America, and details the significance of this Juneteenth. As of this week, US President Joe Biden signed legislation establishing Juneteenth as a US federal holiday. However, in order to truly appreciate and celebrate the memorial of Juneteenth, it is important to put American history and its transgressions against Blacks into proper context. Juneteenth is historically known as Jubilee Day, Black Independence, and Emancipation Day, and this holiday commemorates the end of practiced slavery in America in 1865. It was on the morning of Monday, June 19, 1865, Union Major General Gordon Granger arrived on the island of Galveston, Texas to take command of the more than 2,000 federal troops and enforce the emancipation of its slaves and oversee a peaceful transition of power, additionally nullifying all laws passed within Texas during the war by Confederate lawmakers.

We also take time to reflect on the other Elder Gods of Sophisticatedly Ratchet, our Pops! Fathers Day is a celebration honoring the father of the family, as well as fatherhood, fatherly role models, and the influence of fathers in society. And since we gave so much love to Moms on Mother's day it wouldn't be right if we didn't show them love too! Join us as each SR member feels about their fathers, what qualities are necessary to be a good father, and share stories about their relationships with their pops. In this heartwarming episode, we figure out why dad always gets shitty gifts. If you’ve read this far you in the TRIBE and know the vibes, pull up, tune in and join us as we scream, “Happy Juneteeth Dad(dy)!”
