Not a question of if but when Juneteenth will be a Federal holiday. The talk is getting rid of Columbus Day and replacing it with Juneteenth. From a practical standpoint, having another day off in the summer time is always a good thing.

Nice for people who don’t like their jobs very much.

You might as well start calculating that Cinco De Mayo and Three King’s day will be high on the Hispanic/Latino list to be adapted.

These clowns know it is a Texas thing, they just want a day off.

One can only hope that the Juneteenth celebrations will emphasize this important fact: On June 19, 1865 Republicans freed the last black slave from Democrat control.

It has been a state holiday since Deval Patrick was in office.

Its designated on a Sunday. Congrats—take the day.

If there are any patriots left in that horrible state, I suggest you move.

So Massachusetts is making it a holiday when the slaves in Texas were told they were free.

The left was waiting for an excuse to get rid of Columbus, who brought Christianity to the New World. There was a connection between George Floyd and Columbus: the George Floyd riots sprang from hatred of Whites. Columbus brought Whites to the New World, and so he was bad.

Is there anyone who thinks that the end goal of what’s going on now ISN’T to eliminate Whitey, after taking all his money?

It's a classical Naked communist ploy to replace meaningful history with meaningless garbage like this. One of the long list Skousen revealed.

If you take off every federal holiday (10) and religious holiday (31 for now) and based on today’s environment you can swap religions like your gender anytime plus 104 days for weekends people don’t really work much anymore. That’s 145 days off out of 365.

Course I’m retired so every day is that holiday so I’m celebrating July 30th today.

Will Massachusetts be joining Texas in celebrating San Jacinto Day too?

Juneteenth Boogie song from the 1940s on an Oklahoma label

It was a day of celebration, local, and not a day of contemplation and introspection.
