At the risk of getting in trouble or alienating people in the disability and/or feminist community...
I am highly concerned about another white feminist fuckup on the Juneteenth erasure front. Even if it was an unintentional mistake, that's not good enough. We cannot expect recognition when we do not recognise others; consideration for all and prompt action is necessary.
As someone invested (just because you haven't seen me comment with this name doesn't mean I'm not a participant) in the community...yeah. This needs to get sorted.
As I said, highly concerned.

maevele, it might just be a local thing, but there's been a Juneteenth Day festival every year I've lived in Milwaukee. Yes, primarily a US American and Canadian thing, but...it's important to check calendars. And, if one does miss things, which is feasible in this case, to sort things in a prompt manner.)
ETA: If you don't know, the basics on Juneteenth.
