      Juneteenth does not celebrate the abolishment of slavery. It celebrates the news arriving in Houston. New Jersey had slavery six months after juneteenth. Also it only freed men.

        I have never seen anything that says the Emancipation Proclamation or the 13th Amendment only freed men. Do you have a source for that?
