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”?

It’s kind of like Veteran’s Day or MLK Day where government offices and banks are closed but the majority of private businesses are still open. Everyone I know is working today yet.
