Juneteenth Celebrations
Celebrate – Wednesday, June 19, 2024
History of Juneteenth
Over the years, a number of myths concerning Juneteenth have developed which are repeated annually as part of the celebration’s history. Among these is that General Order No. 3 ended slavery in the United States on 19 June 1865. Slavery was not abolished in the US until 6 December 1865 through the ratification of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, and so General Order No. 3 did not end slavery, it only made clear that the Emancipation Proclamation of 1 January 1863, freeing slaves in the confederate states, would be enforced.
