JUNETEENTH BOOK REVIEW

In this classic study, Pulitzer Prize-winning author James M. McPherson deftly narrates the experience of blacks--former slaves and soldiers, preachers, visionaries, doctors, intellectuals, and common people--during the Civil War. Drawing on contemporary journalism, speeches, books, and letters, he presents an eclectic chronicle of their fears and hopes as well as their essential contributions to their own freedom. Through the words of these extraordinary participants, both Northern and Southern, McPherson captures African-American responses to emancipation, the shifting attitudes toward Lincoln and the life of black soldiers in the Union army. Above all, we are allowed to witness the dreams of a disenfranchised people eager to embrace the rights and the equality offered to them, finally, as citizens. The Negro’s Civil War is available at Ujamaa Book Store Today.

WELCOME TO THE JUNETEENTHOHIO FESTIVIAL

Welcome to the 25th Annual JuneteenthOhio Festival in Columbus Ohio the place where African American history is always being told. One hundred and fifty-seven years ago, our African American ancestors in Galveston Texas celebrated the first Juneteenth Festival in in the nation.

General Gordan Granger read official order #3 to the remaining African American captives of Galveston Texas June 19th 1865. Two and a half years earlier President Lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation January 1, 1863 supposedly freeing captives in the rebellious south. The celebratory act became the symbol of all people’s freedom day. (African American were not free July 4,1776) June 19th became the date for the All People’s Freedom Day. Historical festival activities included, family gatherings, enjoying great soul food, drinking red pop, singing spiritual hymns, dancing to the rhythms of the drums, story-telling for the children of the mighty Buffalo Soldiers or Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad, John Brown, and black inventor stories.

Today Juneteenth is a National Holiday and continues to be celebrated in over 250 cities throughout the country. Juneteenth has evolved into an annual gathering that gives 40 million African Americans a unified voice. JuneteenthOhio is the 3rd largest celebration in the country symbolizing among us Unity, self-determination, cooperative economics, collective work and responsibility, creativity, purpose and faith. Young people and families are indeed experiencing too much confusion and lacking culturaly competent knowledge to calm their storm. Proceeds from the festival will support Factual Literacy initiatives and programs that helps remove or reduce confusing barriers to our children’s knowledge and education of their history.
