June 19 event at Latta Plantation canceled after backlash from public officials, community members

The event planned for June 19 at the Latta Plantation in Huntersville, North Carolina, has been canceled following social media backlash. According to the event page, which has since been deleted, organizers were planning to host an event on June 19 called "Kingdom Come." The event page stated guests would "hear stories from the massa himself who is now living in the woods." The event was not explicitly listed as a Juneteenth event, but was planned to be held on June 19 -- Juneteenth is a holiday to remember and celebrate June 19, 1865, when slavery officially ended in America. "It hurt. We understand the history what Juneteenth is something that we now celebrate but it’s rooted in pain," concerned resident Hannah Hasan said. The event page went on to read that during the re-enactment, Confederate soldiers would "express their feeling about the downfall of the Confederacy."
