Biden and Harris have signed the bill. Great news.

Will put out my flag on Saturday. It won't become another three-day weekend, will it?

No that it is in fact a legal national holiday, shouldn't
this be posted on the other side...like July4, Memorial Day, Presidents Day etc?

Sure, why not. The day is June 19. Hopefully someone will mention it.

Having this become a national holiday though is very political. Would not have happened with previous guy. Like MLK jr day, not everyone will accept it.

Nah.

It was all Trump's idea btw Trump pledges to make Juneteenth federal holiday in bid for Black voters

Do ya think any red hatters remember that?

That was fast. I just got an email from the director of our lab (a Department of Energy National Laboratory). Tomorrow the lab is closed and we all get the day off.
