"I am my ancestors' wildest dreams."

Seriously? Most people from outside the U.S. are familiar with American holidays, be it Columbus Day or Martin Luther day, or the biggest of all, Thanksgiving. But even though I have studied in an American university and have tons of American friends, I had never before heard of Juneteenth. The underrepresentation of the holiday seems pretty obvious. I think it must be very bold for the show to reivindicate it, and they did it beautifully. If there is one flaw to it, it is that they set an incredibly high bar for the rest of the season, the episode was amazing! And definitely very educational. Also, I loved Aloe Blacc's participation as a guest, he is a fantastic musician!
