SUMMARY:Why Juneteenth? Remembrance and Reflection
DESCRIPTION:Juneteenth also known as Freedom Day and Emancipation Day\, is Friday\, June 19\, a holiday that is arguably as important to our nation as the Fourth of July\, since it commemorates the day in 1865 when enslaved people of Texas\, then the most remote region of the Confederacy\, finally learned slavery had been abolished and that they were free. \n\n\n\nThe Center for Lincoln Studies at the University of Illinois will be hosting a panel discussion that addresses the big questions: \n\n\n\nWhat is Juneteenth? Why should we remember it? How was it celebrated in the past? How is it celebrated now? \n\n\n\nJoin us as we remember and reflect Juneteenth\, in honor of one of the final acts of emancipation of slaves in the U.S. \n\n\n\nAfter the program we will have a question and answer session with our panelists. \n\n\n\nPanelists:Ken Page\, President of the ACLU Illinois Springfield Chapter and former president of the Springfield NAACP chapterCherena Douglass\, fundraising chair for the Faith Coalition for the Common Good.Dr. Tiffani Saunders\, Instructor of Sociology and African American Studies at the University of Illinois at Springfield. \n\n\n\nKathryn Harris\, first African American and first woman to serve as the President of the Abraham Lincoln Association and currently serves on the ALPLM Board.  \n\n\n\nJune 17th\, 12pm

SUMMARY:North Carolina Special Edition: Durham Royal Ice Cream Parlor Sit-In
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mrs. Mary Clyburn Hooks and Ms. Virginia Williams \nOn June 23\, 1957\, Rev. Douglas Moore of Asbury Temple Methodist Church led six young African Americans into Durham’s segregated Royal Ice Cream Parlor. The group entered the “Colored” entrance at the back of the restaurant and proceeded to the White section\, where they sat down and ordered ice cream. Denied service\, the protestors refused to leave. They were arrested and fined $10\, plus court fees. The Royal Ice Cream sit-in provoked controversy in not only the White community; it created a huge uproar among Black citizens\, many of whose members viewed the protesters not as freedom fighters but as troublemakers. Although the sit-in did not receive a lot of support\, it did help inspire future protests\, including the Greensboro F. W. Woolworth store lunch-counter sit-ins. Join us on the 65th anniversary of the Royal Ice Cream Parlor sit-in\, as two of the protestors share their memories of that historic day. \nMary Clyburn Hooks is a native of Monroe\, North Carolina. As a young woman\, she moved to Durham\, hoping to acquire an education and work in a more progressive town. After participating in the sit-in\, Hooks married and started a family. She attended North Carolina College at Durham (now North Carolina Central University)\, before settling in New Jersey. Virginia Williams came to Durham from her home in rural Northampton County\, seeking employment. After attending a political meeting\, the two young women felt compelled to take part in the upcoming protest. Following the events at the Royal Ice Cream Parlor\, Williams participated in other Durham demonstrations. She retired from a long career in food services and still resides in Durham.
