Juneteenth Sale...coming soon! 

It's June and you know what that means? It's hotter than Hades outside (well, in some places...not in Wisconsin). It  also means Juneteenth is right around the corner. And that means it's almost time for the Juneteenth sale I'm a part of.

Why Juneteenth?

The simple fact is there was a time in America's history where folks would get fined, punished or thrown in jail for teaching people of color to read, more specifically, teaching slaves to read. The general fear was if you taught slaves how to write they might, you know, think about their lot in life. They may not be happy about it. They just might educate themselves. And then the nightmare would begin: They might educate others.

What I do every day for a living was illegal in the United States. Took some time for the word to get out that slavery had been abolished, and that was just one step closer to where I'm sitting now. I don't know about you, but I think that's cause for a celebration. It's worthy of taking a moment.

Why a group sale?

Who doesn't love a sale?  The bigger the group, the more bargains to be had!
