AFRICAN AMERICANS/RALLY/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: [Interviewer: You did move your rally off Juneteenth.

And most people, and I went to a lot of people, they didn’t they had not heard the term Juneteenth…
I did something good. I made it famous. I made Juneteenth very famous. It’s actually an important event, it’s an important time. But nobody had heard of it. Very few people have heard of it. Actually, a young African-American Secret Service agent knew what it was. I had political people who had no idea.”
