And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

"Enslaved people received, took, filed, fled, reclaimed, and sued for their freedom," writes Daina Ramey Berry. "What we acknowledge this Juneteenth must be about more than what was given. It must be about what had already been claimed."

The Truth About Black Freedom
This year’s Juneteenth commemorations must take a deeper look at the history of Black self-liberation to understand what emancipation really means—and how far the country still has to go.

One thing I miss about working at Mental Floss is being able to highlight amazing Black History stories in our Retrobituaries series, like this story from Jake Rossen about a Black soldier who fought off dozens of Germans with a freakin' bolo knife: www.mentalfloss.com/article/5860...

Henry Johnson, the One-Man Army Who Fought Off Dozens of German Soldiers During World War I
In May 1918, Henry Johnson found himself alone in a French forest with a wounded ally, an empty rifle, and dozens of German soldiers closing in. He didn't run. He fought.
