Indiana State Workers Miss Juneteenth

Juneteenth, the day slavery ended in Texas in 1865, is now a federal holiday—but Indiana state workers still show up to work. While 33 states recognize it as a paid day off, Indiana’s state personnel department doesn’t list it, making it just another workday for them. Texas was the first state to honor it back in 1980, and it took over a million signatures to get federal recognition under Biden. It’s a powerful reminder of freedom’s delayed arrival—and how unevenly history is honored across the country. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
