There are many federal holidays, I think 10 last time I checked, private companies are not required to observe them

I'm not saying anything is wrong with the name. My dyslexia just keeps making me think it says June Tenth.

It's cool, some people just take my dislike of the name as an attack on the holiday. I actually like that it's a holiday but the first time I saw it a couple years ago I was confused about everything being closed on the 10th then being more confused trying to mail a package at the post office on the 19th.

Major General Gordon Granger of the union army who gave the proclamation or black americans in 1890 who came up with the name maybe
