Celebrating Black emancipation on Juneteenth is a compromise
On April 9, 1865, Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union General Ulysses Grant, effectively ending the Civil War. Word of Lee’s surrender and the actual end of the Civil War did not officially reach Galveston, Texas, until June 19, 1865. Thus, instead of celebrating the Union victory and the actual African slave emancipation, Juneteenth becomes a comfortable compromise. The Civil War was one of many wars fought and won by the United States. Juneteenth is a non-threatening compromise to acknowledge the freedom of the formerly enslaved (in Texas) without celebrating the actual end of a horrible war.

Boeing Starliner's return to Earth delayed again
WASHINGTON, June 22, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - NASA said on Friday the Boeing Starliner's return to Earth from the International Space Station, which was scheduled for next week, has been delayed again. The delay of the rescheduled June 26 return will allow more time for the review of the thruster malfunctions and helium leaks that caused the first delay, it said. Starliner's first crewed mission to the ISS, which had initially been scheduled to last about eight days, has been extended to a date yet to be determined. "NASA and Boeing leadership are adjusting the return to Earth of the Starliner Crew Flight Test spacecraft," NASA said in a blog post late Friday. The initial ISS docking was delayed by more than an hour after some of Starliner's thrusters that provide fine maneuvering initially failed to kick in.
