    President Joe Biden has signed legislation establishing Juneteenth as a federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery. Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers brought the news of freedom to enslaved Black people in Galveston, Texas.http://apne.ws/0W7eeY5

        How this has not happened yet I have no idea, every person should be given one paid day during voting period so long as they can show they actually voted. I’d argue all businesses close on Election Day but that’s not feasible

        So, following the 3 day weekend rule, it falls on the 21st? Or is it one of those holidays that are fixed, like Christmas?

        I'd imagine it's fixed like Christmas as the day is specifically June 19th

        What a great idea. The freeing of a people from oppression is certainly something worthy of a celebration.

        Sounds fine on paper, but this picture is worrisome, in terms of where this gets taken from here.
