“There is something especially cruel about advocating for your boundaries while disrespecting other peoples.”
The Uniform Holiday Bill (Public Law 90-363 (82 Stat. 250)) was signed on June 28, 1968, and was intended to ensure three-day weekends for Federal employees by celebrating four national holidays on Mondays: Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Columbus Day.

Many states did not agree with this decision and continued to celebrate the holidays on their original dates.
