Juneteenth, June 19, 1865, was not the date my ancestors were freed! No, January 1, 1863 was the day President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation - declaring that all slaves were free.
June 19, 1865 - was just the date all my ancestors found out that they were freed two years, six months, and 13 days earlier.
