Probably because this was pretty much a Texas thing and covered in Texas education... Just like I wouldn't expect anyone outside of Alabama to know that the only monument in the world to an insect is located in Alabama....


Right, just like I'm sure a lot of people don't realize that Confederate Memorial Day is actually still a state holiday in Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and South Carolina. I don't believe the United States began to formally recognize "Juneteenth" at all until the late 90s.
