Unfortunately normal. I knew of it, I had recognized the term, but only due to a wiki/history dive. Never heard it mentioned by other humans until recently.

It's been around for a while but I think the recent protests have highlighted it. I was partially ignorant as well

African-Americans have celebrated it for a long time.

I first heard about it about 12-13 years ago, though.

Yes, I literally only looked up what it was because I wanted to know why it was marked on my phone's calendar. Without that, it's a Google Doodle level day, like that person who invented that thing's 114th birthday.

I get not having heard of it before, but just jumping to a conclusion without even doing a basic google search? Really?

Right, because you weren't previously aware of the celebration marking the end of slavery, it must be a Google Doodle level day. Classic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-ish_(season_4)

Black-ish did a really good episode of Juneteenth three years ago.

But I doubt the people who are calling it a made up word or Google-sketch level type of day would really care what a show made up of mostly black people would have to say about their history.
