Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Juneteenth is a holiday that commemorates the end of slavery in Texas on June 19, 1865. It had been illegal to teach a slave to read or write. Therefore, the emancipated slaves were unfamiliar with The Queen's English, particularly the calendar months and dates. Hence, they referred to their date of freedom, JUNE 19, as JUNETEENTH. In newly formed Black communities across the South, the 19th of June was equivalent to the 4th of July. It was a day of great celebration for the former slaves. In June 2015, our East Texas family returned to their roots to remember and honor our enslaved ancestors' and celebrate their day of freedom. At that time it was decided that we would continue to make an annual trek to Geneva during the third weekend in June to celebrate Juneteenth. Join us as we rejoice and celebrate the message Our Ancestors received 153 years ago in Galveston, Texas: "...ALL SLAVES ARE FREE."

Download or read book Remembering and Honoring Our Enslaved Ancestors written by Yolanda Bozant and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History books teach that the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect on January 1, 1863. However, those books make no mention that 250,000 Texas slaves were not freed until two and a half years later -- on June 19, 1865. Union soldiers sailed into Galveston, announced the end of the Civil War, read an order declaring slaves residing in Texas were free, and threatened slaveholders with imprisonment. It was a day of celebration. The freed slaves danced in the streets. Having had no access to formal education, June 19, 1865 became known to the freed slaves as "Juneteenth." Each year the freed slaves celebrated the end of slavery. June 19, 2015 marked the 150th anniversary of Juneteenth as well as the official end of slavery in the United States. Hundreds of descendants of the former slaves who gained their freedom on Juneteenth returned to Geneva, Texas on Saturday, June 20, 2015 in remembrance and honor of those who created a legacy in the face of adversity, most of whom are buried in the three community cemeteries: County Line Cemetery, Dennis Cemetery, and New Zion Cemetery.Our ancestors gave us a gift that has been shared with each generation. They impressed upon us that we each were someone special. They showed us that through God, all things are possible if we have patience, continue to work hard, survive the rough times, benefit from others' wisdom, and maintain a passion for knowledge. On Saturday, June 20, 2015, we gathered before God to testify that our ancestors have done their job. Each generation developed their gift from God - their children - to the best of their potential. Our gift to them is the assurance that we give to our children the same sense of destiny that they have provided and nurtured in each of us.We are the proof of the enormous strength of our ancestors. Even in their time of greatest need, they still thought of us and persevered through a lifetime of bitter slavery so that their descendants might one day enjoy the sweet taste of freedom.

So glad Joshunda is telling our stories." - Jacqueline Woodson Eight-year-old Ava Murray wants to know why there’s a difference between the warm, friendly Bronx neighborhood filled with music and art in which she lives and the Bronx she sees in news stories on TV and on the Internet. When her mother explains that the power of stories lies in the hands of those who write them, Ava decides to become a journalist. I Can Write the World follows Ava as she explores her vibrant South Bronx neighborhood - buildings whose walls boast gorgeous murals of historical figures as well as intricate, colorful street art, the dozens of different languages and dialects coming from the mouths of passersby, the many types of music coming out of neighbors’ windows and passing cars. In reporting how the music and art and culture of her neighborhood reflect the diversity of the people of New York City, Ava shows the world as she sees it, revealing to children the power of their own voice.

Download or read book How the Word Is Passed written by Clint Smith and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVOURITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR A NUMBER ONE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR NON-FICTION 'A beautifully readable reminder of how much of our urgent, collective history resounds in places all around us that have been hidden in plain sight.' Afua Hirsch, author of Brit(ish) Beginning in his hometown of New Orleans, Clint Smith leads the reader on an unforgettable tour of monuments and landmarks - those that are honest about the past and those that are not - which offer an intergenerational story of how slavery has been central in shaping a nation's collective history, and our own. It is the story of the Monticello Plantation in Virginia, the estate where Thomas Jefferson wrote letters espousing the urgent need for liberty while enslaving more than four hundred people. It is the story of the Whitney Plantation, one of the only former plantations devoted to preserving the experience of the enslaved people whose lives and work sustained it. It is the story of Angola, a former plantation-turned-maximum-security prison in Louisiana that is filled with Black men who work across the 18,000-acre land for virtually no pay. And it is the story of Blandford Cemetery, the final resting place of tens of thousands of Confederate soldiers. A deeply researched and transporting exploration of the legacy of slavery and its imprint on centuries of American history, How the Word Is Passed illustrates how some of our most essential stories are hidden in plain view - whether in places we might drive by on our way to work, holidays such as Juneteenth or entire neighbourhoods like downtown Manhattan, where the brutal history of the trade in enslaved men, women and children has been deeply imprinted. How the Word is Passed is a landmark book that offers a new understanding of the hopeful role that memory and history can play in making sense of the United States. Chosen as a book of the year by President Barack Obama, The Economist, Time, the New York Times and more, fans of Brit(ish) and Natives will be utterly captivated. What readers are saying about How the Word is Passed: 'How the Word Is Passed frees history, frees humanity to reckon honestly with the legacy of slavery. We need this book.' Ibram X. Kendi, Number One New York Times bestselling author 'An extraordinary contribution to the way we understand ourselves.' Julian Lucas, New York Times Book Review 'The detail and depth of the storytelling is vivid and visceral, making history present and real.' Hope Wabuke, NPR 'This isn't just a work of history, it's an intimate, active exploration of how we're still constructing and distorting our history." Ron Charles, The Washington Post 'In re-examining neighbourhoods, holidays and quotidian sites, Smith forces us to reconsider what we think we know about American history.' Time 'A history of slavery in this country unlike anything you've read before.' Entertainment Weekly 'A beautifully written, evocative, and timely meditation on the way slavery is commemorated in the United States.' Annette Gordon-Reed, Pulitzer Prize-winning author
Download or read book How to Be Alone written by Lane Moore and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The former Sex & Relationships Editor for Cosmopolitan and host of the wildly popular comedy show Tinder Live with Lane Moore presents her poignant, funny, and deeply moving first book. Lane Moore is a rare performer who is as impressive onstage—whether hosting her iconic show Tinder Live or being the enigmatic front woman of It Was Romance—as she is on the page, as both a former writer for The Onion and an award-winning sex and relationships editor for Cosmopolitan. But her story has had its obstacles, including being her own parent, living in her car as a teenager, and moving to New York City to pursue her dreams. Through it all, she looked to movies, TV, and music as the family and support systems she never had. From spending the holidays alone to having better “stranger luck” than with those closest to her to feeling like the last hopeless romantic on earth, Lane reveals her powerful and entertaining journey in all its candor, anxiety, and ultimate acceptance—with humor always her bolstering force and greatest gift. How to Be Alone is a must-read for anyone whose childhood still feels unresolved, who spends more time pretending to have friends online than feeling close to anyone in real life, who tries to have genuine, deep conversations in a roomful of people who would rather you not. Above all, it’s a book for anyone who desperately wants to feel less alone and a little more connected through reading her words.
Book Synopsis Marked, Unmarked, Remembered by : Alexander C. Lichtenstein
Download or read book Marked, Unmarked, Remembered written by Alexander C. Lichtenstein and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From Wounded Knee to the Edmund Pettus Bridge, and from the Upper Big Branch mine disaster to the Trail of Tears, Marked, Unmarked, Remembered presents photographs of significant sites from US history, posing unsettling questions about the contested memory of traumatic episodes from the nation's past. Focusing especially on landscapes related to African American, Native American, and labor history, Marked, Unmarked, Remembered reveals new vistas of officially commemorated sites, sites that are neglected or obscured, and sites that serve as a gathering place for active rituals of organized memory. These powerful photographs by award-winning photojournalist Andrew Lichtenstein are interspersed with short essays by some of the leading historians of the United States. The book is introduced with substantive meditations on meaning and landscape by Alex Lichtenstein, editor of the American Historical Review, and Edward T. Linenthal, former editor of the Journal of American History. Individually, these images convey American history in new and sometimes startling ways. Taken as a whole, the volume amounts to a starkly visual reckoning with the challenges of commemorating a violent and conflictual history of subjugation and resistance that we forget at our peril."--Provided by publisher.
