Years. So I'm not sure why you would be concerned about it becoming one.

I'm black and never once celebrated Juneteenth. I knew about it of course. But I always considered it more of a regional celebration that people did in Texas. Although I've met black people in other parts of the South especially Florida that would have celebrations.
