“Juneteenth is a real legitimate holiday.

I don’t really oppose it as a national holiday, but find it a bit odd that what was a mostly East Texas celebration is now national. It was celebrated pretty much on a line East of DFW, Austin and Corpus Christi, cotton growing country. Was a big deal in places like Bastrop, Temple, Tyler and other cities with a large African American population.
