Apropos of #July4, #immigrants, & #citizenship: when I was small, my father knew that I was already very interested in history & especially #VastEarlyAmerica, so when he went on a trip to Washington, he brought me large facsimiles of the #DeclarationOfIndependence, & #EmancipationProclamation, as well as a smaller folder with the texts of Declaration, Constitution, & Bill of Rights
In retrospect it seems appropriate that the set represented the completion of the promise of the Declaration

Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the #UnitedStates commemorating the #emancipation of enslaved #AfricanAmericans. Deriving its name from combining June and nineteenth, it is celebrated on the anniversary of the order by Major General #GordonGranger proclaiming #freedom for enslaved people in #Texas on June 19, 1865.

One of the nicest small gifts I ever received: When I was young, my father was on a trip to Washington & brought me full-size facsimiles of the #DeclarationOfIndependence & #EmancipationProclamation, & a smaller booklet with those 2 + the #Constitution
He knew I was fascinated by the #Colonial #history and the #AmericanRevolution, and I think they meant a lot to him as an #immigrant.
I still have them.
