ICNA CSJ Sends Best Wishes for a Memorable Celebration to all those Commemorating Juneteenth.

Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. The 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, signed a document on January 1, 1863, known as the Emancipation Proclamation. The document read in part that, “All persons held as slaves in rebellious states…” (11 Confederate southern states that broke away from the union over the issue of slavery and white supremacy) “…henceforward shall be free.” These Confederate states waged a traitorous war against the United States government from April 12, 1861, until their total surrender on April 9, 1865
