It’s my understanding from someone who is in state gov’t. that the holiday will be adjusted to occur on either a Friday or a Monday; whichever is closest to the actual day.
So probably next year Father’s Day will be all about wonderful black fathers.
HISTORY: Not all slaves were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, nor via Juneteenth. Only the slaves of the REBEL states were freed then. Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation was a wartime effort to split and weaken the South; he did NOT free any slaves in the Northern states. Slaves in the non-rebelling border states had to wait for the 13th Amendment, effective December 18, 1865.
