However, such a move will only hurt the country — such opinion was expressed by Donald trump, the journalist of The Wall Street Journal.
“there is systemic racism, but renaming military bases would further divide the country. I take responsibility for the fact that the date of the end of slavery in the United States — June 19 was celebrated as a larger scale.”
Exactly 155 years ago in Texas announced the emancipation proclamation of slaves. He was the last of the southern States, where slavery was abolished. Now in America it is not just a historical fact — June 19 in the Senate are going to declare a Federal holiday. And beyond.
