(WBAP/KLIF NEWS)- After receiving criticism for scheduling his rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma on June 19th, which is the holiday known as Juneteenth, President Donald Trump has made the decision the reschedule to Saturday June 20th.
He made the announcement over Twitter.
“We had previously scheduled our #MAGA Rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for June 19th – a big deal. Unfortunately, however, this would fall on the Juneteenth Holiday. Many of my African American friends and supporters have reached out to suggest that we consider changing the date out of respect for this Holiday, and in observance of this important occasion and all that it represents. I have therefore decided to move our rally to Saturday, June 20th, in order to honor their requests. We have already had ticket requests in excess of 200,000 people. I look forward to seeing everyone in Oklahoma!”
Juneteenth is also known as Freedom Day and celebrates the day slavery ended in the United States on June 19th, 1865.
