Yeah that was when I first heard of it. I researched it at the time and saw that it has been around for a long time but I had never heard of it before that and I'd consider myself to be pretty well read on history in general. Obviously enough people were aware of it to push for a holiday so maybe it's just the part of the country I'm from it wasn't celebrated much idk.
