WHAT??? What does the color of one's skin have to do with Father's day? How do you figure that Black dads will get a paid day off for Father's Day once or twice every decade?

Father's Day will ALWAYS fall on a Sunday and is unlikely to ever be a paid holiday.

Juneteenth ALWAYS falls on June 19 but, due to Federal regulations, if it falls on a weekend then it is observed on either Friday or Monday. Federal workers will always have a paid day off for Juneteenth.
