People care about Juneteenth like they care about MLK day, there's no cultural significance to Kwanzaa.

Looks like Kwanzaa was bigger until 2018 when Juneteenth first started getting promoted.

Juneteenth has been promoted a whole lot longer than since 2018. At least in the cities I used to go to.

That said, I'm from the upper midwest. Views on Juneteenth are probably different, particularly in certain other parts of the country.
