SUMMARY:Juneteenth 2023 at Atlanta History Center
DESCRIPTION:Honor the past. Celebrate the future. \nOn June 19\, 1865\, a group of Union troops stopped in Galveston\, Texas\, to inform enslaved people that the Civil War was over\, the Confederacy was defeated\, and enslaved people in Texas were free. Although President Abraham Lincoln freed enslaved people held in the Confederate States through the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863\, many slaveholders in Texas refused to comply. Since 1865\, Southern citizens have observed Juneteenth in commemoration of that fateful day in Galveston. \nToday\, Juneteenth serves as a holiday to reflect on our nation’s history\, commemorate emancipation\, and look towards the future impact of Black culture and community. In 2021\, President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law\, making Juneteenth a federal holiday. \nJoin us as we celebrate Juneteenth 2023 (and Father’s Day) by honoring the history of Black genealogy and agricultural practices. This year’s event promises to be a truly immersive experience featuring live music\, powerful storytelling\, interactive crafts\, and delicious food. \nOur workshops and talks will provide valuable insights into the history of Juneteenth and offer tips on how to research your family tree and preserve family artifacts. \nThis program is part of Atlanta History Center’s celebration of the Civic Season\, a nationwide initiative encouraging historically-informed civic participation through a two-week activation between Juneteenth and July 4th.

SUMMARY:Juneteenth Evening of Songs and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Jamestown Settlement on Wednesday\, June 14\, for a thought-provoking evening of history and performance exploring the precarious nature of freedom from 17th-century Jamestown to Juneteenth. \nAlthough Juneteenth springs from events that happened in Galveston\, Texas on June 19\, 1865\, the event celebrates liberation from a system of slavery with origins in Jamestown\, Va.\, as the place where the first recorded Africans in 1619 were brought after landing at Old Point Comfort and where the first slave laws enacted in the mid-17th century impacted the lives and status of Africans and their descendants. \nAs a prelude to Juneteenth\, Dr. Cassandra Newby-Alexander\, Endowed Professor of Virginia Black History and Culture at Norfolk State University\, takes up that legacy in history 246 years later at the end of the American Civil War to share the story of Black regiments attached to Virginia’s Army of the James. \nSome of these regiments were sent to Texas after the war to patrol the gulf region that included Galveston. Among their duties was keeping the peace after news of the Emancipation Proclamation was delivered to Galveston’s enslaved inhabitants. \nInterludes of song by Sylvia Tabb Lee & the Rejoicing Singers and dramatic readings from primary sources will complement the evening.
