SUMMARY:Juneteenth
DESCRIPTION:There are actually two independence days in the United States. African Americans celebrate Juneteenth as the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. On June 19\, 1865\, Union soldiers\, led by Major General Gordon Granger\, landed at Galveston\, Texas with news that the war had ended and the enslaved were now free. This was two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation – which had become official January 1\, 1863. \nThe Emancipation Proclamation had little impact on Texans\, however\, due to the minimal number of Union troops on hand to enforce the new Executive Order. But with the surrender of General Lee in April 1865 and the arrival of General Granger’s regiment\, Union forces were finally strong enough to influence and overcome the resistance. \nWhen Texas fell and Granger dispatched his now famous order No. 3\, it wasn’t instant freedom for most of the Lone Star State’s 250\,000 slaves. On plantations\, slave owners could decide when and how to announce the news – or wait for a government agent to arrive – and it was not uncommon for them to delay until after the harvest. \nDespite the announcement\, Texas slave owners weren’t eager to part with what they felt was their property. When freed people tried to leave\, many of them were beaten\, lynched\, or murdered. “They would catch freed slaves swimming across the Sabine River and shoot them\,” a former enslaved person named Susan Merritt recalled. \nJuneteenth gets its name from the combination of June and Nineteenth\, and is also known as Emancipation Day\, Juneteenth Independence Day\, and Black Independence Day. Celebrations typically include prayer and religious services\, speeches\, educational events\, family gatherings and picnics\, and festivals with music\, food\, and dancing. \nMore about Juneteenth\n12 Things You Might Not Know About Juneteenth\nBy Stacy Conradt \n\nWhat is Juneteenth?\nby Henry Louis Gates\, Jr. \n\nJuneteenth Oregon\nLocal Juneteenth information & events \n\nCity of Portland Annual Day of Remembrance\nPortland City Council adopted Juneteenth as an annual Day of Remembrance and paid holiday \n\nJuneteenth Legal Holiday in Oregon\nHB 2168 establishes Juneteenth as legal state holiday \nWhy All Americans Should Honor Juneteenth (VOX)Recommended Reading\nMultnomah County Library Black Resources Collection \n\nWe Were Eight Years in Power\nby Ta-Nehisi Coates \n\nThe New Jim Crow\nby Michelle Alexander \n\nFreedom Is a Constant Struggle\nby Angela Y.
