American holidays celebrate American people and events. I assume the Osiris reference was meant as satire. I think celebrating a day when a significant number of enslaved Americans learned of their freedom is well worth celebrating. Someone once said that slavery was America’s Original Sin. I’m not sure that’s true, but it’s right up there.
