June 13, 2008 “Today is Juneteenth, the oldest known celebration of the end of slavery in the United States. The holiday dates back to the last days of the civil war, when Union soldiers landed in Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and slaves were free. The date was June 19,1865. The news of freedom came to Galveston’s enslaved men and women more than two years after Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Some say slaveholders deliberately withheld the news to maintain the labor force on the plantations. Others say federal troops delayed the news and waited to enforce Lincoln’s order so slave owners could reap the benefits of one last cotton harvest….” / (From Democracy Now-2002) ~~This year, in NYC, the celebration which is 20 years old here,. / contains elements of both historical and religious significance. / Young and old come together to speak and spread the oral traditions ; conduct drumming and dancing celebrations; share traditions between young and aged; and honor the captured Africans who lay buried , without grave markers in the Atlantic Ocean.. / It is a time of learning, sharing, hoping & remembrance. / _______ / Featured in NYC Group—June 2008
