TT Trump thúc giục người dân ‘Giải Phóng’ lệnh cách ly 3 tiểu bang
WASHINGTON, DC —Tổng Thống Donald Trump thúc giục những người ủng hộ “Giải Phóng” lệnh cách ly ở ba tiểu bang có thống đốc Dân Chủ bằng những tin nhắn trên mạng xã hội.

“Giải Phóng Minnesota,” “Giải Phóng Michigan,” “Giải Phóng Virginia,” đó là ba khẩu hiệu được Tổng Thống Trump tweet ra hôm Thứ Sáu, 17 Tháng Tư.
Đồng thời, ông Trump cũng không quên tấn công Thống Đốc Andrew Cuomo (Dân Chủ) của tiểu bang New York, vì những chỉ trích của ông này về sự chậm trễ tiếp cứu của chính quyền liên bang, theo tường thuật của AP.

Giới chức Bộ Y Tế Mỹ bất ngờ bị thuyên chuyển sau khi đòi thử nghiệm kỹ thuốc ‘ký ninh’ trị COVID-19
Apr 22, 2020 cập nhật lần cuối Apr 22, 2020
WASHINGTON, DC (NV) — Một bác sĩ từng đứng đầu một cơ quan y tế có nhiệm vụ nghiên cứu và phát triển thuốc vắc-xin chống COVID-19, hôm Thứ Tư, 22 Tháng Tư, cáo giác rằng ông bất ngờ bị thuyên chuyển sau khi đòi phải có sự thử nghiệm kỹ càng một cách điều trị dịch được Tổng Thống Donald Trump đặc biệt ưa thích.
Vị bác sĩ này nói rằng các chứng cớ khoa học, chứ không phải “chính trị hay bè phái” nên là yếu tố chính để quyết định việc sử dụng thuốc trị liệu này, theo bản tin của tờ New York Times.
Bác sĩ Rick Bright bất ngờ bị thuyên chuyển tuần này khỏi chức vụ giám đốc cơ quan nghiên cứu và phát triển phương cách điều trị (BARDA), trực thuộc Bộ Y Tế, và cũng ra khỏi chức vụ phó phụ tá bộ trưởng đặc trách chuẩn bị và đối phó dịch bệnh, để về một chức vụ thấp hơn ở Viện Y Tế Quốc Gia (NIH).
“Tôi tin rằng tôi bị thuyên chuyển vì đã đòi hỏi chính phủ phải đầu tư số tiền hàng tỷ đô la do Quốc Hội cung cấp vào việc cung cấp các giải pháp điều trị an toàn và được thử nghiệm kỹ càng để chống COVID-19, chứ không để chi vào các loại thuốc hoặc kỹ thuật khác, không được chứng minh hiệu năng một cách khoa học,” Bác sĩ Bright nói trong bản thông cáo gửi tới báo chí.
“Tôi phải lên tiếng vì trong việc chống lại con virus nguy hiểm này, khoa học, chứ không là chính trị hay bè phái, phải đi đầu,” theo lời ông Bright.
Bác sĩ Bright nói cả đời làm việc của ông là về nghiên cứu và phát triển vắc-xin, cả ở trong các cơ quan chính phủ và trong lãnh vực tư nhân. Ông Bright đã đứng đầu cơ quan BARDA từ năm 2016 tới nay.
Bác sĩ Bright nói việc ông tìm cách giới hạn sử dụng loại thuốc ký ninh chloroquine và hyrdoxychloroquine, vốn được cá nhân Tổng Thống Trump ca ngợi như “thuốc trị bá bệnh”, vì chưa có kết quả thử nghiệm và chứng minh một cách khoa học là hiệu quả và an toàn.
Ông Bright đòi rằng trong giai đoạn đầu, hai loại thuốc này chỉ được dùng cho các bệnh nhân nhiễm COVID-19, đang được điều trị tại bệnh viện, với sự kiểm soát của bác sĩ.
Bác sĩ Bright nói việc đưa ông ra khỏi nhiệm vụ giữa khi có đại dịch, và đặt chính trị cùng phe đảng lên trên căn bản khoa học là điều đe dọa cho tính mạng và cản trở nỗ lực có biện pháp đối phó với cuộc khủng hoảng y tế hiện nay.
Tòa Bạch Ốc và Bộ Y Tế hiện chưa có lời bình luận gì về việc này. (V.Giang)

Thỉnh nguyện thư kêu gọi lãnh đạo WHO từ chức đạt mốc một triệu chữ ký
Đã có hơn một triệu người, trong đó có nhiều người Việt, ký vào thỉnh nguyện thư, yêu cầu Tổng giám đốc Tổ chức Y tế Thế giới (WHO) Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus từ chức vì cách thức ông xử lý đại dịch virus Corona.
Tính tới sáng ngày 26/4 (giờ Washington), có 1.015.405 người đã ký vào lời kêu gọi người đứng đầu của cơ quan y tế thuộc Liên Hợp Quốc từ nhiệm, vượt quá con số một triệu ban đầu mà những người tổ chức đặt ra.
Thỉnh nguyện thư viết rằng ông Tedros “không phù hợp với vị trí Tổng giám đốc WHO” cũng như cáo buộc ông “tin vào con số người chết và nhiễm bệnh mà chính phủ Trung Quốc cung cấp cho mình mà không điều tra”.
Với sự ủng hộ gia tăng, mục tiêu tiếp theo của những người vận động là có 1,5 triệu người ký vào thỉnh nguyện thư mà cho tới nay WHO hay cá nhân ông Tedros chưa có phản hồi trực tiếp.

Loại biểu lộ dân chủ này chỉ có tác dụng trên bàn cờ quốc gia. Trên bàn cờ thế giới thì cần phe cánh. Cho nên nếu dân chúng hiểu biết chánh trị thế giới một chút thì sẽ không có ai tham gia ký tên loại này. Mà hè nhau thỉnh nguyện ông bà đứng đầu quốc gia mình binh bài kiểu khác.

Số người hồi phục đã lên 147 ngàn và hơn 59 ngàn người tử vong.
Cũng như TỔNG SỐ người bị nhiễm lẫn chết chóc ở Đức lên gần 160 ngàn người, nhưng trong có số tổng cộng này đã có 117 ngàn 400 người lành bệnh, 6314 người đi bán muối và 36 ngàn 198 còn ĐANG bệnh. Coi số liệu cũng phải coi cho trúng. Để loan tin nghe kinh khủng quá quí vị ký giả ký thiệt ạ!

The US coronavirus death toll surpasses American fatalities from the Vietnam War
U.S. officials and public health specialists have repeatedly compared the country’s coronavirus mitigation efforts to that of a war, and now Covid-19 has taken more U.S. lives than the Vietnam War.
The U.S. National Archives says that 58,220 American soldiers died in the Vietnam conflict, which began in 1955 and ended in 1975. Covid-19 has now claimed more lives in the U.S. since it officially arrived in the country in January, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
Covid-19 has killed 58,365 people so far in the U.S., according to Johns Hopkins.

Trudeau announces Canada is banning assault-style weapons

Ngã quân tử kiến nguy nhi tácQuote:
Canada has banned assault-style weapons following the murder of 22 people in the worst mass shooting in the country’s history, Justin Trudeau announced on Friday.“
These weapons were designed for one purpose and one purpose only: to kill the largest number of people in the shortest amount of time. There is no use and no place for such weapons in Canada,” said the prime minister.
“Effective immediately, it is no longer permitted to buy, sell, transport, import or use military-grade assault weapons in this country.”
Canada has one of the highest per capita gun ownership rates in the world, at an estimated 34.7 firearms per 100 people, according to the Small Arms Survey in 2018. The country still trails far behind the US, which has close to 120 guns per 100 people.
An “overwhelming majority” majority of Canadians – nearly four out of five people – support the ban, according to a poll from the Angus Reid Institute, released Friday.

Richard Burr steps down as Senate committee chair over FBI investigation
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...ence-committee
GOP = Grifters, Outlaws, PredatorsQuote:
A Republican US senator stepped down from a key committee leadership role in Congress on Thursday after his phone was seized overnight by investigators with a warrant looking into allegations that he used private briefings as inside information to dump shares before the market plummeted over the coronavirus crisis.
Senator Richard Burr of North Carolina will “step aside” from his post as the chair of the Senate intelligence committee, the majority leader, Mitch McConnell, a fellow Republican of Kentucky, announced on Thursday afternoon.
Burr’s phone was seized by the FBI on Wednesday night, when investigators served him a warrant at his Washington home amid an ongoing investigation into whether he engaged in insider trading.
Burr previously denied he had kept the public in the dark about the scale of the threat of coronavirus and also denied insider trading, saying he was relying on publicly available information when he dumped stock as the pandemic hit the US.
Several of the stocks he and his wife sold were in companies that own hotels and followed senators receiving confidential briefings on the seriousness of the approaching pandemic even as the public was not yet fully aware of what was about to hit the US. More than 80,000 Americans died of Covid-19 between 11 March and 11 May, and the death toll continues to rise.
Donald Trump said, as he departed the White House for a visit to Pennsylvania, that he did not know anything about Burr’s decision, but added: “That’s too bad.”
A senior justice department official said the FBI did not conduct a raid, but paid a visit to Burr’s home to collect his cellphone.

TT Trump tuyên bố: ‘Cắt quan hệ với Trung Quốc, Mỹ tiết kiệm $500 tỷ’
WASHINGTON, DC (NV) – Tổng Thống Donald Trump hôm Thứ Năm, 14 Tháng Năm, tiếp tục có thêm lời lẽ cứng rắn với Trung Quốc, cho biết không muốn nói chuyện với Chủ Tịch Tập Cận Bình và đưa ra phát biểu hàm ý ông có thể cắt đứt mối quan hệ Mỹ-Trung Quốc, do việc Bắc Kinh che giấu đại dịch COVID-19, theo bản tin hãng thông tấn AFP.
Tình trạng căng thẳng giữa Washington và Bắc Kinh đang tiếp tục trầm trong hơn trong khi hai bên đưa ra các lời cáo buộc lẫn nhau về nguồn gốc của đại dịch, vốn xuất hiện lần đầu vào cuối năm 2019 ở thành phố Vũ Hán, Trung Quốc.
Trong cuộc phỏng vấn dành cho Fox Business, Tổng Thống Trump nói rằng: “Tôi có mối quan hệ rất tốt đẹp với Tập Cận Bình, nhưng ngay lúc này tôi không muốn nói chuyện với ông ta.”
Khi được hỏi là Mỹ sẽ trả đũa như thế nào về hành động che giấu của Trung Quốc, Tổng Thống Trump không cho câu trả lời rõ ràng, chỉ có lời hàm ý đe dọa rằng: “Có nhiều điều chúng ta có thể làm. Chúng ta có thể làm nhiều điều. Chúng ta có thể cắt đứt mối quan hệ.”
“Và nếu chúng ta làm điều này thì việc gì xảy ra? Chúng ta sẽ tiết kiệm được $500 tỷ nếu chúng ta cắt đứt mối quan hệ với Trung Quốc,” ông Trump nói thêm.

Coronavirus: Brazil overtakes Spain, Italy in COVID-19 cases
Brazil now has the fourth-largest coronavirus outbreak in the world, surpassing former epicenter Italy in the number of confirmed cases. President Bolsonaro continues to downplay the virus and slammed lockdown measures.
https://www.dw.com/image/53420094_303.jpg
Brazil overtook Spain and Italy in the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases on Saturday, making it the fourth-largest outbreak in the world.
The country's total number of cases rose to 233,142 after authorities logged 14,919 new cases, according to data form Brazil's Health Ministry.
A total of 15,633 people have died due to the coronavirus in the country so far, with the country registering 816 new fatalities over the past 24 hours.
Experts have warned that due to under-testing, the actual figures could be as much as 15 times higher, cautioning that the worst could be yet to come.
Bolsonaro downplaying virus
Despite the rising case numbers and fatalities, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has repeatedly downplayed the seriousness of the outbreak, dismissing the virus as a "little flu."
He has also continued to attack lockdown measures implemented by some governors to contain the spread of the virus, and calling for businesses to reopen
"Unemployment, hunger and misery will be the future of those who support the tyranny of total isolation," the far-right president tweeted.
His remarks came a day after Health Minister Nelson Teich resigned from his post after less than a month on the job.
Only the United States, Russia and the United Kingdom have logged more case than Brazil, but the South American country has carried out only a fraction of the tests than those three other countries.

Hundreds demand justice in Minneapolis after police killing of George Floyd
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...protest-police
Quote:
Hundreds of protesters gathered in the city on Tuesday evening to demand justice after Floyd, who was African American, was killed when a white Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck as he lay on the ground during an arrest. Footage of the incident showed Floyd shouting “I cannot breathe” and “Don’t kill me!”
Floyd died late on Monday, when officers responded to a call from a grocery store that claimed Floyd had used a forged check. Police said Floyd “physically resisted officers” while possibly under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
In the video footage, witnesses can be heard shouting at officers to get off Floyd’s neck. One yells: “Bro, he’s not even fucking moving!” Another asks if “you’re going to just sit there with your knee on his neck?”
The Minneapolis mayor, Jacob Frey, apologized to Floyd’s family on Tuesday morning, saying “[Floyd] should not have died.”
“For five minutes we watched as a white officer pressed his knee to the neck of a black man,” Frey said.“For five minutes. This officer failed in the most basic human sense.
The FBI and authorities in Minnesota announced on Tuesday they had launched an investigation into Floyd’s death, and the incident is being investigated by the FBI for possible civil rights violations. Four police officers involved in the incident have been fired.

Coronavirus: What attacks on Asians reveal about American identity
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52714804
Quote:
Attacks on East Asian people living in the US have shot up during the pandemic, revealing an uncomfortable truth about American identity.
In states including New York, California, and Texas, East Asians have been spat on, punched or kicked - and in one case even stabbed.
Authorities in New York City and Los Angeles say that hate incidents against people of Asian descent have increased, while a reporting centre run by advocacy groups and San Francisco State University says it received over 1,700 reports of coronavirus-related discrimination from at least 45 US states since it launched in March.
Police in at least 13 states, including Texas, Washington, New Jersey, Minnesota and New Mexico, have also responded to reported hate incidents.
Critics say those at the very top have made things worse - both President Donald Trump, and Democratic hopeful Joe Biden have been accused of fuelling anti-Asian sentiment to varying degrees with language they've used while talking about China's role in the outbreak.
https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cp...fixsaqpzi6.jpg
Statistics on Anti-Asian incidents in the US:
- One third of people surveyed said they had witnessed someone blaming Asian people for the pandemic
- 1,710 incidents reported to STOP AAPI HATE
- 15% of those cases involved physical assault or being coughed on or spat at
- More than 100 individual incidents reported in the media
- 133 incidents of anti-Asian discrimination recorded by the New York City Commission on Human Rights - compared to 11 in the same period last year. The commission has intervened in 91 cases.
- 14 Asian-bias hate crimes investigated by police in New York
- More than 100 alleged hate incidents reported to civic groups and police departments in Los Angeles
- Six reports of bias incidents reported to police in Seattle
- There has been a surge in anti-Asian hate on extremist web communities

Supreme Court rules Brazil must share virus data
Brazil's top court has ordered the Health Ministry to resume releasing all data related to the COVID-19 outbreak. The rapid ruling follows a ministry decision to no longer publish cumulative death and infection totals.
https://www.dw.com/image/53753980_303.jpg
Brazil's highest court on Tuesday ruled that the country's health ministry must continue reporting all data related to coronavirus death and infection rates, after the ministry deleted large swathes of public information and said it would stop publishing cumulative totals.
The health ministry in Brazil must "fully re-establish the daily dissemination of epidemiological data on the COVID-19 pandemic, including on the agency's website, under the terms presented until last Thursday," the Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes said in a statement published on the court's website early Tuesday.
He also noted "the disastrous consequences for the population if internationally recognized measures are not adopted, such as the collection, analysis, storage and dissemination of relevant epidemiological data."
Health ministry removes virus data
Over the weekend, the health ministry had pulled down a significant amount of detailed information about the virus outbreak in Brazil and said it would no longer publish cumulative data on coronavirus deaths and infections. Last week, it had also moved back the release of the daily figures to late in the evening.
The move was met with outrage across the political spectrum.
Speaking at a televised cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Interim Health Minister Eduaro Pazuello said it had not been the ministry's intention to revise the figures, adding that the government had not suggested casualties were being over-reported.
Registering fatalities by the day of death rather than the day registered gives a more accurate image of the outbreak's "true curve," he argued.
On Monday, the ministry had walked back its earlier announcement and said it would continue to release cumulative totals.
Pazuello is only in the job on an interim basis, after President Jair Bolsonaro consumed two health ministers during the course of a single outbreak. Bolsonaro sacked the first, while the second resigned in protest at the president undermining his own health advice, not least with repeated support for opponents of Brazil's lockdown measures.
Patchy testing complicates data
Critics had feared that a new practice of publishing only fatalities reported in the last 24 hours would fail to take into account instances where someone tested positive for COVID-19 days after the date of death. Such cases are common in Brazil, where testing has been erratic.
The recent action made it "impossible" to monitor the outbreak and to implement necessary controls, Justice Moraes said.
At over 700,000 infections, Brazil is the country with the second-highest number of cases of coronavirus in the world, second only to the US. Over 37,000 people in Brazil have died from the virus.

Protesters uses several ropes to remove the statue, with a a sign that reads “Columbus represents genocide” placed on the spray-painted foundation that once held the figure. It was then set on fire and rolled into a lake in the park, NBC 12 reported.
Elsewhere, another statue of Columbus in Boston’s Atlantic Avenue in Massachusetts was beheaded.

Protesters topple statue of Confederate president in Virginia

Quote:
Protesters have pulled down a statue of Jefferson Davis, the Civil War-era president of the Confederacy, amid continuing protests triggered by the police killing of George Floyd and the wider issue of racism in the US.The statue of Jefferson, a Mississippi Democrat who served as the president of the Confederate states from 1861 until 1865, was toppled shortly before 11pm in Richmond, Virginia, the place Davis set up as his capital.
Police were on the scene in Monument Avenue and videos on social media showed the statue being towed away as a crowd cheered.
The toppling of the Davis statue in Virginia came a day after protesters tore down a Christopher Columbus in Richmond which was set on fire before being dumped in a nearby lake. A second statue of Columbus was torn down in Minnesota, while other Columbus statues in Houston and Miami were splattered with red paint.
Among graffiti painted on the Davis monument was the question: “How much more blood?”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has urged Congress to take steps to remove from the US Capitol 11 statues representing Confederate leaders and soldiers from the civil war. “Their statues pay homage to hate, not heritage. They must be removed,” Pelosi said in a letter to leaders of a congressional committee in charge of managing the statues in the Capitol.
The toppling of Davis’s statue, which depicted him at the moment of his resignation speech, is one of 10 controversial statues to have been removed in recent days. Branches of the US military and the Nascar stock car racing association said they would ban Confederate symbols, including flags.
Protesters in Portsmouth, about 80 miles from Richmond, beheaded and then pulled down four other statues that were part of a Confederate monument on Wednesday, according to media outlets.

Hundreds of protesters have taken over several blocks of Seattle and transformed it into the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, or “Chaz”, helping to amplify nationwide protests while offering a real-world example of what a community can look like without police.
The space has both a protest and street fair vibe, with a small garden, medic station, smoking area, and a “No Cop Co-op”, where people can get supplies and food at no cost. There’s also a trio of shrine-like areas filled with candles, flowers and images of George Floyd and many others who have been killed by police.
Protesters have described the site as a safe and peaceful place, where the vast majority of people wear masks to protect each other against coronavirus and offer whatever skills or supplies they have. On Wednesday, people could be seen handing out masks, hand sanitizers, snacks and water.
A variety of demands have been raised during the course of the occupation, but the main three involve defunding the police, using that money to invest in community health and services, and dropping criminal charges against protesters.

Argentina pastor turns church into bar in protest at uneven coronavirus restrictions

#BYOB (Bring Your Own Bible)Quote:
An evangelical church in Argentina has reopened as a bar in protest against the lockdown on religious services that remains in place despite the gradual opening up of other activities around the country.
Bar tables were placed inside the church and pastors dressed as waiters carrying bibles on their trays in a mock service as part of call for religious services to be allowed during Argentina’s coronavirus lockdown.
“We are standing here today dressed like this, carrying a tray, because it seems this is the only way we can serve the word of God,” pastor Daniel Cattaneo, dressed as a waiter, said as he opened the “worship bar” at the Comunidad Redentor (Redeemer Community) evangelical church in the city of San Lorenzo, in Argentina’s central province of Santa Fe.

Voice of America's appointment of Trump ally

Quote:
Earlier this month, Trump persuaded Republican senators to confirm Michael Pack, a conservative film-maker and associate of the rightwing ideologue Stephen Bannon, as the new head of the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM), even though Pack is currently under criminal investigation for allegedly diverting $1.6m in funds from a charity organisation he runs to his private film company, Manifold Productions.
Trump appears to have been outraged that although VOA is funded by the federal government, he had not been able to control its output.
“If you hear what’s coming out of the Voice of America, it’s disgusting,” the president said in April. “The things they say are disgusting toward our country. And Michael Pack would get in and do a great job.”
The administration has accused the broadcaster of favouring Beijing in its coverage of the coronavirus pandemic, but the accusation was found to be groundless by independent media watchdog. Last week, the publication of internal messages from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, showed the health agency had been instructed to blacklist the VOA and not respond to its inquiries. The VOA covered the story on the “press freedom” section of its website.

Juneteenth: Celebrating the end of slavery in the US
A holiday commemorating the end of slavery goes unnoticed by many in the US. But Black Americans have celebrated freedom on Juneteenth for over 150 years, remembering past steps toward equality and what needs to improve.
https://www.dw.com/image/53847626_303.jpg
Each year, people in the United States celebrate Independence Day on July 4. On this national holiday, friends and family gather to have barbecues and enjoy firework displays commentating the decision to be free of British colonial rule.
But the Declaration of Independence, signed on July 4, 1776, did not grant liberty to all. Slavery remained in place. In his famous 1852 speech, Frederick Douglass, a former slave turned abolitionist, put it succinctly: "This Fourth of July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn."

It took until January 1, 1863, when US President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation declaring that "that all persons held as slaves" in states fighting Lincoln's army "are, and henceforward shall be free." It took more than two more years — until June 19, 1865 — for Union Army soldiers to arrive in Texas to enforce the proclamation.
African-Americans have since celebrated the day, which became known as Juneteenth, as a day of liberation. Yet many white people in the US have never heard of it. It was not until December 1865 that an amendment to the constitution abolished slavery in all of the United States.
Patchy awareness of Juneteenth
Awareness of the day's significance greatly depends on where in the US a person grew up.
"I've lived in Maryland for the past 15 years and not very many people are aware of it here, certainly not many white people," Melvin Edwards, an Anne Arundel County school district spokesman, told DW.
Juneteenth's absence from the school curriculum has meant that few people are aware of it, Edwards said. Even during Black History Month in February, where an emphasis is put on teaching about African-American culture and history in US schools, Juneteenth rarely comes up in class.
Edwards, who is originally from Texas, where his ancestors were held as slaves, added that because Texas is the only US state where Juneteenth is an official holiday "more people are aware of it there."
But people who grew up and live in predominantly white neighborhoods are still unaware of Juneteenth as a significant event in US history, a fact Edwards said he thinks needs to change.
"I don't want it to be something that's relegated to the black community," he said, adding, "We all belong to the American experience, so we should all know about that history."
The evolution of Juneteenth
Washington DC's expansive National Museum for African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) is dedicated to that historical experience. Even though the museum is currently closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, anyone can access the website on June 19 to learn about the origins of Juneteenth and participate in an online workshop on researching family histories.
Joanne Hyppolite, a NMAAHC curator and expert on African American and African diaspora material and expressive culture, said Juneteenth was "definitely celebrated in Texas immediately the year after."
The migration of former slaves in the US South to large cities in the country's north and west had a major impact on how awareness of Juneteenth spread throughout the country. It took about 100 years, however, until it finally became a broadly established as a day of remembrance in the black community.
"As a result of the Black Power and Civil Rights movements during the 1960s and the 1970s, African Americans were looking to celebrate their history and claim pride in their heritage," Hyppolite said. "Things like Juneteenth were opportunities for them to be able to bring attention to African American history."
Today, Juneteenth is marked with special church services and barbecues, involving friends, relatives and neighbors. The color red has become associated with this historical day, as such, many of those observing Juneteenth wear red clothes, or serve red foods and drinks, like red velvet cake and strawberry beverages.
Juneteenth as a day of reflection
Melvin Foote, head of the Washington DC-based group Constituency for Africa, which strives to educate people and lawmakers in the US about Africa, said Juneteenth provides a moment to reflect on how much progress the United States has made since slavery — and what still needs to improve.

Marches take place in several US cities on Juneteenth, but many people are unaware of the day's significance
Foote said this year highlights the need for reflection — not just because of the police brutality that led to the death of George Floyd, sparking Black Lives Matter protests across the country and the world. The ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Foote said, has also made clear the racial inequality that persists in the US health care system.
He also called US President Donald Trump's initial plan to hold his first post-lockdown reelection rally on June 19 tone-deaf. Trump had wanted to speak in the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, where one of the most severe incidents of racial violence in US history left scores of African Americans dead in 1921. Trump's plan sparked an outcry, and he postponed the rally by one day. All this increased awareness for Juneteenth, Foote told DW.
Foote said he welcomes that more and more people are becoming aware of Juneteenth. But he also said, "It's not so much about what white people think, it's more about what we think, what we think about ourselves, what we think about our children, what do we think about our community.
"It's going to be more of what can we do Juneteenth to step it up as a people," he said. "How do we do better to make sure that our issues are raised and dealt with."
