Seems like a worthy thing to commemorate, certainly more legit than some other celebrations that we have.
Although it does sound like a made up joke name, like something Southpark would invent. Maybe consider a re-brand. Call it Freedom day.
But the main thing is that every year they should commemorate what the Republican president did to free black people and how it was opposed by the Democrats wearing hoods and robes.

I've known about, been too, and heard of Juneteenth since the 1980s, so maybe it is regional.
