I grew up many years ago in the Northeast and never once in my life heard of Juneteenth, till I moved to D.C. in the early 80s. Even then, it didn't really seem much of a thing even with Black co-workers and friends. So I was amazed when it "all of a sudden" (to me) became a federal holiday. It should be celebrated, what an event it was!
