Yes Google. Like it or not it is the most complete search engine today. In fact, it helped me find the information on Evanston, Illinois.

They have a great crystal ball in Evanston, Illinois. Google found articles from March and May announcing that the activities for July 4 had been cancelled. If these were canceled due to Juneteenth then Evanston knew three months before anyone else that there would be a new holiday!

Or, just maybe, Evanston canceled their July 4 activities with no thought of Juneteenth. Even the Fox News article acknowledges that the July 4 decision was made earlier in the year and based on Covid concerns.

So again, which cities canceled July 4 events in order to celebrate Juneteenth instead?

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
