Should Juneteenth be recognized as a national holiday? To prepare to take a stance on this question, young historians first analyze the Emancipation Proclamation and compare it to Lincoln's first Inaugural Address. Scholars then read an article describing Juneteenth and consider the connections between Juneteenth and emancipation. To conclude the lesson, class members prepare a speech that advocates their position on the question.
