SUMMARY:Juneteenth Sunrise Service
DESCRIPTION:To commemorate the triumphant spirit of the African American journey\, The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation will host its second annual Juneteenth Sunrise Service on Sunday\, June 15\, at 6 a.m. at the majestic Compton Oak. This landmark tree symbolizes life\, endurance\, shelter\, and joy. \nThe Juneteenth Sunrise Service is inspired by “Watch Night” – also referred to as “Freedom’s Eve” – a tradition in Black churches across the United States born out of the enslaved community’s “waiting for the hour” on the night of December 31\, 1862. With the coming dawn\, the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect on January 1\, 1863. \nThe first documented Sunrise Service was conducted for Easter in 1732 by the Moravian community in Herrnhut\, Germany. It appears that Moravians who came to the American colonies spread the tradition\, which was taken up by several denominations\, including Black and white churches. Southern Black churches sometimes combined the Easter Sunrise Service with an all-night vigil\, such as the Easter Rock\, which still survives in Louisiana. Sunrise Services in Black churches also celebrated other significant events\, like the fall of Wilmington\, North Carolina\, to Union forces in February 1865. \nSpecial keynote address by Dr. Daniel Black\, award-winning novelist\, professor\, and public speaker. \nWeather permitting.
