I have no problem with this, just passing information. Should this be made a national holiday?

Called Juneteenth, June 19 is celebrated as the effective end of slavery in the United States. Although the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect Jan. 1, 1863, it wasn't until June 19, 1865, after the April 1865 conclusion of the Civil War, when the last of the newly freed slaves were read President Abraham Lincoln's decree in Texas.
quote:
The power of this historical feat in our country's blemished history is felt each year, but there is no question that the magnitude of this event weighs even more heavily today in the current climate," Goodell said in his statement Friday. "Juneteenth not only marks the end of slavery in the United States, but it also symbolizes freedom -- a freedom that was delayed, and brutally resisted; and though decades of progress followed, a freedom for which we must continue to fight."

Three national holidays in a span of around 45 days during the warm periods? Not a bad idea.
Though I would prefer trading off Columbus Day for the Friday after Thanksgiving.

If I get a paid holiday, yes.
If I have to work and government employees don't, then it isn't a real national holiday.
