re: How will you celebrate Juneteenth Day this year?

Wonder if the families of those who were still slaves after Juneteenth, in the north no less, will still celebrate?

Not really the North, but it lasted in Kentucky until the 13th amendment became official - Dec 18, 1865. Decidely after June 17 of that year.

ETA: Delaware had slaves until Dec 18 as well, bizarrely enough.
Missouri and Maryland abolished it independently prior to Juneteenth
