Happy Juneteenth; This recently added holiday makes federal workers happy I am sure. It reflects the liberation of the slaves, a happy day indeed. For most of us it is just another day banks are closed and the mail doesn't run.

They kind of have to because the mail doesn't run. Federal buildings aren't open etc

@snowy22315 Only 30 states recognize it, but I do not know which states do not recognize it.

Why do you think that? Trump has other things in his agenda like screwing up our country, and the world

I'd never heard of this day until I read about it here.

I don't get it as a federal holiday. I'm sure Trump will rescind it like tomorrow. "Juneteenth" was when the last part of southern Texas slaves learned that the Civil War was over and they were free.
