This holiday commemorates the day that Abraham Lincoln signed what would later become the 13<sup>th<\/sup> amendment. The 13<sup>th<\/sup> amendment abolished slavery in all U.S. states. National Freedom Day was signed into law on June 30 ,1948 by President Harry Truman. On this day, many towns and cities have parades in festivals to reflect on their freedoms.
