And not anywhere else?  Like what, Africa invented it, sold the West on it and still practices it to this day? It’s central to some of their nations’ economies? What about Russian gulags? China? North Korea? Why’d you pick Africa?

Juneteenth is about America, not Africa. It’s about emancipation, not slavery.
