President Donald Trump announced late Friday evening that his comeback rally scheduled for June 19 in Tulsa, Oklahoma will be moved to June 20 out of respect for people who suggested the rally would detract from the importance of Juneteenth, a holiday commemorating the Emancipation Proclamation and end of slavery in Texas.
“We had previously scheduled our #MAGA Rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for June 19th – a big deal,” said Trump. “Unfortunately, however, this would fall on the Juneteenth Holiday. Many of my African American friends and supporters have reached out to suggest that we consider changing the date out of respect for this holiday, and in observance of this important occasion and all that it represents.
