I only heard about this new holiday on the news today as the airports had a major fail with people trying to fly on the holidays.
Yesterday is the first I have heard of it.

It’s only the 2nd year federally observed as a holiday. Yesterday was Sunday so today banks schools government jobs closed.

The history of the day Is very moving. It’s been 157 years I believe when the last slaves in Texas understood found out they were free people. There was no internet. Information was slow.

Never heard of it to be honest. Is it a holiday only observed in USA?
Biden declared it a holiday last year. It’s a historical day in US history as @77nick77 said about end of slavery.
