[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We get Juneteenth off and our organization's leadership sends out messages about how important the day is to commemorate the end of slavery, how much still has to be done to advance equal rights, etc. And then most people end up working [i]at least[/i] half a day from home. So is this really a holiday or not? Are we dishonoring the holiday by treating it as just another work day? I'm certainly not sitting back and reflecting on racial injustice when I've got a full email box from people pinging me on projects and upcoming deliverables. [/quote] The holiday came out of nowhere and came during the time of covid and so it’s not really ingrained yet into people’s mind as a federal holiday.Same thing happened the first 10 years or so of MLK day. It took a while for the day of service thing to start but now it’s the tradition of that holiday. In the same way Juneteenth will have to have a tradition associated with it for it to take hold.
