[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would like it better if it wasn’t called Juneteenth. June 19th sounds good. Can we just combine it with MLK day? We are heading toward a lot of holidays. Besides the usual days, our school system takes off Christian, Jewish and Muslim holidays. I think we should cut Presidents’ Day or Columbia Day or Easter Monday. [/quote] No, because General Gordon Granger inconsiderately failed to transmit the news of the Emancipation Proclamation in Galveston on the future birthday of Martin Luther King Jr (January 15) and instead did so on June 19.[/quote]
