I feel I’ve been gaslit* into believing Juneteenth is a real holiday

I understand it’s an important historical event but it seems like it was just made up and everyone went along with it because they want a day off. I had never even heard of it before a few years ago. Big yikes, I know. I’m working on addressing my ignorance.

Anyone else blown away at how fast Juneteenth became a “thing”?

Juneteenth exists only because there was no federal holiday in June and the emancipation proclamation went into effect on new years day. I'll literally never believe otherwise.

I love how its deliberately a vague date and ill push it to overtake pride month.
