[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who doesn’t want another holiday? Can we add one to March and April too now, as those months are holiday deserts. Anyhow, it is a meaningless gesture. It does not repair slavery. It is a political stunt to garner future votes, but hey if we all get a day off, I am down with it. [/quote] Actually, it isn't meaningless. It will entrench the significance of the date into the minds of Americans forever more. Sure, one day there may be Junteenth sales and BBQ's, but in the short term, the explanation of the date and its meaning will be top of mind. Critically important right now.[/quote]
