No slaves in 70 or so years? Many good African-Americans considered the time 
that slavery truly ended as when the Civil Rights laws were passed and 
enforced, and time before that was described as "slavery times".

With your thinking, why then do we celebrate the birth and death of Jesus 
Christ when he lived over 2,000 years ago? Why do we celebrate the 
Declaration of Independence, when it was written so many years ago? Why 
celebrate your birthday, considering your age now?

Why?
