I'm going with Texas. Last state in the union to inform slaves "hey, you're free now".

Winner gets a beer from the pool.

If I read it right, AZ just got their ban overturned.

Hoping FL gets on board before we move, it will be really weird to go from recognized to officially unrecognized.

Weird, dangerous, expensive. Be sure to get your ducks in a row; durable power of atty, medical power of atty .... I am not a lawyer and don't play one on TV. Heaven forbid you ever need any of that. Hopefully that will change and soon.

I agree with this one, especially as long as we have yahoos like Perry and Cruz.

I think it was a couple of months after the end of the civil war when it took a Union General and his troops to convince Texas to free slaves.

The problem with Texas and also Louisiana and Mississippi may be that they are in the very conservative 5th circuit court of appeals which hasn't ruled yet on the Texas ban.

Hence why we have Juneteenth.
