How many people knew about this holiday before this year ? Now they want to make it a National Holiday. Is it the new Kwanzaa ?

I’ve known about it for a while.

100% knew about it for as long as I can remember.
I however thought it was a state holiday, not a national one. It’s to celebrate when slaves in Texas learned of their freedom.

You shouldn’t have known.
It’s a Texas holiday.
We grow up with it (it’s taught in elementary school).
Don’t beat yourself up.

It is a Texas holiday that been around a long time. I think it was officially recognized in 1980.
The media learned about it in the last couple weeks and has decided to push to make it a national holiday.

I'd never heard of it until I started working in Texas regularly. Early 2000's or so. I came back to Birmingham and asked some of my black coworkers if they knew about the black holiday where everyone drank red soda.
They told me I was full of shite.

Never heard of it until 2 or 3 days ago

Learned about it this year. My wife claims she’s known about it for years. I had heard of Emancipation Day though

I learned about it in college.

I heard about it yesterday for the first time.

I became aware of Juneteenth last week.

Where I'm from, it was Ada May day. Folks learned about emancipation on the May 8th.
I like the sound of Ada May better. Would be great to have two days in the first ten days of May that I could attempt to justify getting knuckle-dragging drunk.

It’s been a thing on my apple calendar for the last 5-6 years

Born and raised in Tennessee- I never heard of it until this year

There is an annual Juneteenth thread on the OT board where mostly the same people claim to have never heard of it every year.
