Do you know the full story of Juneteenth? June 19, 1865, marks the day that Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, and informed the enslaved population of their freedom. Sadly, this occurred two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation had already freed enslaved people in Texas on January 1, 1863. The Emancipation Proclamation applied to roughly 3.5 million enslaved people in the Southern States, but did not apply to the estimated 1/2 million enslaved people in the Border States. This is why the 13th Amendment was necessary. For additional information about Juneteenth and so much more, get your copy of “Systems That Shape(d) Black America,” at www.theetnb.com. Available in paperback and e-book formats.

“To save America the first imperative is to remove from power the ideologues of both parties who have nearly killed our country. In his final chapter, Buchanan lays out ideas to prevent the end of America. He calls for a bottom-up review of all of America’s Cold War commitments, a ten-point program to secure America’s borders, ideas to halt the erosion of our national sovereignty and restore our manufacturing preeminence and economic independence, and a formula for finding the way to a cold peace in the culture wars. Buchanan offers a radical but necessary program, for neither party is addressing the real crisis of America -- whether we survive as one nation and people, or disintegrate into what Theodore Roosevelt called a “tangle of squabbling nationalities” and not a nation at all. IN THIS EYE-OPENING BOOK, PAT BUCHANAN REVEALS THE PERILOUS PATH OUR NATION HAS TAKEN:”
