The Floor: Juneteenth

Where keepers deliberate the record: wording, sourcing, what belongs. Speak plain, cite your sources, and respect the floor. Disputes are settled by evidence, not volume.

The red-drink tradition is real and old, but origin stories (hibiscus, kola, blood memory) are contested. Suggest we state the tradition without certifying one origin.

That’s the right bar. The table is the record; the why can live on the Floor until sourced.

✓ Settled: kept, phrased as tradition rather than documented origin.
