But, Juneteenth didn’t end slavery. Slavery wasn’t officially eradicated until the passing of the 13th in December 1865. And even then, slaves were still held captive in the South well into the 1870s. Juneteenth may be cool, but it didn’t end slavery at all.

They say a Black woman made the Juneteenth holiday happen. Everybody's listening to Black women these days.
