On today’s Morning Joe, discussing Juneteenth, which commemorates the freeing of Texas slaves who didn’t learn of the Emancipation Proclamation until two-and-a-half years after Lincoln issued it, Al Sharpton proclaimed:
“The reason I think [Juneteenth] is so important today is that the issues in this election for people like me is around states’ rights, where you have states, I was in Florida last night, trying to ban books, trying to stop women’s right to choose. It’s an issue that’s still alive, states’ rights against the Union, the federal government protecting women, protecting blacks, and protecting history studies and other things. “And, the ability to communicate. When you get your news from the wrong source, you can be freed and don’t even know it.”
