It has no business being a national holiday. State recognition in Texas makes sense.
Neither does Mardi Gras have any business being celebrated in the streets of Seattle.
But more Americans should be exposed to Patriots Day.
And that’s what corporate “floating holidays” were intended for. Someone doesn’t want to take Good Friday or Columbus Day, fine, other people who want to recognize them can.
Agreed. But if it gets even state recognition, that would still be the foot in the door.
I agree. I had never heard of Juneteenth until I moved to Texas 35 years ago. It has long been recognized as a celebration in Texas. National holiday? No.
