One hundred and fifty one years later, on 1 August 1985 the government of Trinidad and Tobago declared Emancipation Day a national holiday to commemorate the abolition of slavery. This country became the first country in the world to declare a national holiday to commemorate the abolition of slavery.
Next year, the whole country might finally learn about Emancipation Day â a D.C. holiday that is little known beyond the city. The holiday, which marks the anniversary of the abolition of slavery in the District, will officially be celebrated April 15, 2016, giving the entire country a three-day reprieve on filing its 2015 taxes.
