On November 2, 1983, President Ronald Reagan signed the King Holiday Bill into law, designating the third Monday in January a federal holiday in observance of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I didn't realize that MLK day was only created in 1983. It seems like it was always there. Really makes you think.

Then again, it wouldn't have been a holiday during his lifetime, and he was shot and killed in 1968. So it took 15 years to become a national holiday.

Juneteenth took the same amount of time (completely forgotten as a concept for 130+ years, remembered in the late 1990s, resurrected by some activist).

MLK is a holiday only because of the superbowl in Arizona.

On March 19, 1991, NFL owners voted to remove the 1993 Super Bowl from Phoenix after Arizona voters failed to make Martin Luther King Jr. Day a paid holiday.

This is why columbus day is now a fake holiday where banks are closed but you still have to work.

this is what I find bizarre. We have all these "holidays" where almost everything remains open. Columbus Day, MLK Day, Memorial Day/Labor Day (to an extent). Just the government schools and banks close.

The only true holidays are Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years. That probably would include Easter although it's a Sunday anyway.

The companies that are on the cutting edge of compensation and time off policies are offering BOTH Juneteenth and a floating day in the month of June for an individual's personal observance of Pride.

Lincolns birthday used to be the 'black' holiday. It was combined with Washington's birthday for presidents day and then blacks got mlk. In the movie Holiday Inn they do an entire blackface routine for Lincolns birthday. It was actually them trying to be progressive.

plus it distracts from the national homage to Satan called “pride month”

It’s a flame holiday for kids since most are out of school for summer anyway (lol at the northeast districts being fd over by going to the end of June).

That being said next next year will be first year Juneteenth will not be on a fri/sat/sun/mon. Are people going to be excited about a random Wednesday off? Interestingly when Juneteenth is on a Wednesday July 4 is on a Thursday.

Anyway, I think they should fix as third Monday of June if they want some synergy with fathers day

There's still plenty of time to rename it or make it about something else. As it stands no one really know what it's about. We can also add another federal holiday in the summer that outclasses it.
