Charlottesville’s city council voted to cease celebrating Thomas Jefferson’s birthday, April 13, as an official holiday
Associated PressCharlottesville, Virginia, will no longer celebrate Thomas Jefferson’s birthday as an official city holiday and instead will observe a day recognizing the emancipation of enslaved African-Americans.
The city council voted Monday night to scrap the decades-old April 13 holiday honoring the Founding Father and president who owned slaves. Charlottesville will now mark Liberation and Freedom Day on March 3, the day U.S. Army forces arrived in the city in 1865.
