Interesting and it certainly puts a different spin on the celebration. I think many African-Americans I know use the day to gather with family for reunions without much thought to patriotism. .-= Beverly Mahone´s last blog ..<a href="http://boomerworld.blogspot.com/2009/07/relying-on-kindness-of-others-more.html">Relying on the Kindness of Others - MORE Magazine</a> =-.

And yet, I'm betting almost no black people even know about July 28th. Maybe I can help spread the word. :-) Exactly. And yet, I’m betting almost no black people even know about July 28th.

I feel that we don't celebrate the essence of the holiday. I feel that everyone is happy they have the day off and can spend time with their family. This is a great thought provoking question.
