Marlon Wayans<\/strong> isn’t stopping with a federally mandated 3-day weekend, no sir … the Juneteenth celebration he has in mind requires taking the whole month off!!!<\/p>\n We got the comedian and actor Friday leaving Equinox in WeHo, and asked how he plans to recognize the U.S of A’s newest national holiday. Marlon isn’t waiting for President Biden<\/strong>‘s signature — he’s simply anointing June as Black History Month, Part II.<\/p>\n On a serious note, or at least seriously funny … Marlon told us how Black people will be marking the holiday this weekend. Sounds like he’ll be joining in starting tonight, on what he calls Juneteenth eve.<\/p>\n We also ask him how non-Black Americans should celebrate. He says that’s a no-brainer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As we reported, on Thursday, Biden officially signed Juneteenth into law<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Juneteenth, of course, is the oldest celebration in America commemorating the end of slavery. Brush up some more on the history here<\/strong>. It had previously been a state holiday or an observed day in 47 states and Washington D.C.<\/p>\n Now the occasion can and should be recognized nationwide, and all month … according to Secretary of Celebration Wayans. It’s a new cabinet position.<\/p>\n
