Juneteenth, although an important historical date commemorating Gordon Granger's General Order No. 3, is like all other caricatures of black and American history. It segregates our society into races and classes rather than allowing for the cultural, racial, and historical mixing that is America. Throughout this special episode of TST we will explore the unauthorized, but historically documented, history of the United States through the Quaker anti-trafficking petition of 1688 to the usage of black caricatures in the 1800s and the terrorizing of Republican voters post Civil War, to the same tactics being employed today through the use of a fake ‘black subculture' and word magic.-FREE ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachingsTwitter: https://twitter.com/TST___RadioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesecretteachingsWEBSITE (BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE for early show access): http://thesecretteachings.infoPaypal: rdgable@yahoo.comCashApp: $rdgableBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tstradioSUBSCRIBE TO NETWORK: http://aftermath.mediaEMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.com

Today is the Juneteenth holiday. It is something that began as a black cultural holiday in Texas, and grew to become a national African-American cultural holiday, and became a national holiday on June 17, 2021. A brief history of Juneteenth: News of the Emancipation Proclamation was delivered to Galveston, Texas, by Union General Gordon Granger. He arrived in Galveston on June 19, 1865, and issued General Order No. 3, an executive order by President Abraham Lincoln. Juneteenth celebrates the day when enslaved people in Texas were finally informed of their freedom, more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation that went into effect on January 1, 1863. This was also the beginning of what we call “watch night,” during which enslaved people were waiting and praying for the start of the new year 1863 which would signal the beginning of their freedom. Slave owners were not willing to release enslaved people because they were profiting off of their free labor. General order 3 was ignored and enslaved people were not informed, so the Union Army was dispatched to Texas to enforce the proclamation. It is difficult for us today to imagine the relief of mind to have the curse and brutality of slavery lifted. The executive order needed the force of congressional action to enshrine that freedom into the constitution. This came with the adoption of the 13th amendment to the United States Constitution. We should not underestimate the positive effect of that action on our African-American ancestors and for generations to follow. To this day, we should look upon that occasion as a lifting of a burden leading to a certain level of peace of mind. Many of the spiritual blessings we receive come from actions taken in world systems and our personal lives. For example, becoming debt-free brings great relief and peace of mind. Getting our children through school and college is another example of peace of mind. Things that we pray for God to do, are sometimes manifested in our circumstances. For a more complete understanding of Juneteenth and the history that preceded it, read this outstanding article by Dr. Jemar Tisby about the history of Juneteenth.
Juneteenth commemorates the 19th day in June, 1865, when Union General Gordon Grainger announced General Order No.3, proclaiming freedom from slavery in Texas. Celebrations began immediately, but eventually took a back seat to the civil rights movement in the 1960s. With the advent of Black Lives Matter new emphasis has been placed on the holiday, which we celebrate on this week's Magazine.

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States. The history of Juneteenth dates back to June 19, 1865, when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and issued General Order No. 3, which proclaimed the freedom of slaves in Texas, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation had been issued by President Abraham Lincoln. The delay in the enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas was primarily due to the minimal presence of Union troops in the region during the Civil War. As Union forces expanded their control and the war neared its end, General Granger's arrival in Galveston served as a significant moment, delivering the news of freedom to the enslaved population. Juneteenth quickly became a time for African Americans to celebrate their newfound freedom. The celebrations initially took the form of church gatherings, parades, and community festivities. Over time, the observance of Juneteenth spread to other states and communities, driven by the migration of African Americans to different regions. During the Reconstruction era, Juneteenth gained even greater significance as African Americans sought to assert their rights as free citizens. However, as Jim Crow laws were implemented and racial segregation persisted, Juneteenth celebrations faced challenges and, at times, were suppressed. In the late 20th century, there was a resurgence of interest in Juneteenth, driven by the Civil Rights Movement and the push for recognition of African American history and achievements. Efforts to establish Juneteenth as an official holiday gained momentum, with Texas becoming the first state to recognize it as a state holiday in 1980. Since then, many other states have followed suit, and in 2021, Juneteenth was officially declared a federal holiday in the United States. Today, Juneteenth serves as a day of remembrance, reflection, and celebration of African American culture and history. It is an opportunity to honor the struggles and achievements of those who fought for freedom and equality, while also acknowledging the ongoing work towards racial justice and equality in the United States.

Juneteenth is a holiday that celebrates and commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. We choose to reflect on the end of slavery in the United States on June 19, because, on June 19, 1865, United States General Gordon Granger issued his General Order No. 3 in Galveston, Texas, informing Texans that all slaves are free. Juneteenth may feel like it is a mid-19th-century moment, but the end of slavery didn't just occur on one day or at one time. And it didn't just occur in the mid-19th century. The fight to end slavery was a long process that started during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Kyera Singleton, the Executive Director of the Royall House and Slave Quarters in Medford, Massachusetts, has spent years researching the lives of the enslaved people who lived and worked on the Royall Plantation and the significant contributions they made to ending slavery in Massachusetts. Kyera joins us to investigate the story of slavery and freedom within the first state in the United States to legally abolish slavery.

In Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger announced General Order No. 3: “the people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a Proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free.” The day became known as Juneteenth, commemorating the actual end of slavery in the United States. Yet more than a century and a half later, Black people in Galveston are still fighting for the “absolute equality” promised to them in that order.The biggest threat today is gentrification, which began after Hurricane Ike in 2008 destroyed the city's overwhelmingly Black public housing. The situation was made worse recently by a short-term rental boom fueled by the pandemic. Since 2000, the Black population has plummeted by 38 percent.On this episode of Into America, Trymaine Lee travels to Galveston to speak with Sam Collins of the Juneteenth Legacy Project, June Pulliam, whose great-great grandparents moved to the island in 1865, and lawyer and activist Anthony P. Griffin, who is trying to preserve land for Black folks in this historic city.Follow and share the show on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, using the handle @intoamericapod.Thoughts? Feedback?

Recap Question: What Do You Mean...Free-ish? Slavery didn t end in 1865. It just evolved. It turned into decades of terrorism, violence, and lynching, said Bryan Stevenson, delivering the 2017 Tanner Lecture on Human Values. Bryan Stevenson lawyer, social justice activist, law professor, and founder of Equal Justice Initiative says the abolition of chattel slavery left the door open for slavery to evolve. The core issue with its evolution is the prevailing belief in white supremacy.Cornerstone Speech March 21, 1861, Savannah GAAlexander Stevens, VP of the Confederacy delivered the Cornerstone Speech: Defense of slavery. Perceived differences between the North and South. Racial rhetoric used to show the inferiority of Black people.The Corwin Agreement (aka Slavery Amendment)February 26, 1861, Representative Thomas Corwin of Ohio introduces his own text for an amendment protecting slavery: "No amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize or give to Congress the power to abolish or interfere, within any state, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said State." Emancipation Proclamation (1863) and the 13th Amendment (1865)"In my view as a scholar of race and colonialism, Emancipation Days Juneteenth in Texas are not what many people think, because emancipation did not do what most of us think it did." Dr Kris Manjapra, Dept of History Tufts University General Order No. 3 - National ArchivesOn June 19, 1865, two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln s historic Emancipation Proclamation, U.S. Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger issued General Order No. 3, which informed the people of Texas that all enslaved people were now free. Granger commanded the Headquarters District of Texas, and his troops had arrived in Galveston the previous day. Fighting for freedom deniedFear is our biggest enemy - false evidence appearing real and real evidence appearing false. "The worst form of fear is the gloomy thoughts that create an eerie atmosphere inside one s mind." Poem Analysis Abolition AmendmentDecember 2, 2020: Senators Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) and Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Representative William Lacy Clay (D-MO-1) propose constitutional amendment to close slavery loophole in 13th amendment.The 13th Amendment abolished most but not all slavery, permitting slavery or involuntary servitude as a punishment for crime. The Abolition Amendment would finally finish the job started by the Civil War, Emancipation Proclamation, and 13th Amendment and end the morally reprehensible practice of slavery and forced labor in America, and send a clear message: in this country, no person will be stripped of their basic humanity and forced to toil for someone else s profit.
Question: What Do You Mean...Free-ish?General Order No. 3 - National Archives The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labor. The freedmen are advised to remain quietly at their present homes and work for wages. They are informed that they will not be allowed to collect at military posts and that they will not be supported in idleness either there or elsewhere. Early Juneteenth CelebrationsThe holiday celebrating Black "independence" could be seen spreading in its first years from one state to another as formerly enslaved people relocated across the country upon hearing of their long-awaited emancipation. There are many similarities between these early celebrations and celebrations of today. We celebrate our ancestor s struggles for freedom going back to the beginning of enslavement and the Transatlantic Slave Trade. We celebrate the sacrifices and give thanks to all of those who lived and died, paving the way for future generations. So, it s a celebration!But then there's the social, legal, economic and political realities associated with Juneteenth, which calls for education through historical truth and personal narratives. Slavery didn t end in 1865. It just evolved. It turned into decades of terrorism, violence, and lynching, said Bryan Stevenson, delivering the 2017 Tanner Lecture on Human Values. Bryan Stevenson lawyer, social justice activist, law professor, and founder of Equal Justice Initiative says the abolition of chattel slavery left the door open for slavery to evolve. Free-ish The social, health and economic reality is that freedom expressed in relative or legalistic terms does not equate to true freedom and equity. When slavery ended Black Codes and Jim Crow took the helm, along with separate-but-equal ideology, redlining, and trappings of the myth of meritocracy. It's what Rich Villodas, Lead Pastor at New Life Fellowship Church in Brooklyn NY calls the-here-but-not-yet reality of racial justice. "It is possible to have freedom and even great success, but still be caught in an unjust, racist world. In the language of New Testament scholars, the kingdom is here, but not yet."

In 1862, General US Grant issued General Order No. 11, banishing Jews from large parts of Tennessee, Kentucky, and Mississippi; likely the most antisemitic official decree in the history of the United States Government. How could this have happened? Was Grant an Antisemite? Could something like this happen again?

JUNETEENTH - A Celebration of Freedom.Juneteenth (a portmanteau of June and nineteenth) is also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, Liberation Day, and Emancipation Day.It is a holiday celebrating the emancipation of those who had been enslaved in the United States. It is now celebrated annually on the 19th of June throughout the United States.HISTORYDuring the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on September 22, 1862. It became effective on January 1, 1863.This Proclamation declared that all enslaved persons in the Confederate States of America in rebellion and not in Union hands were freed.More isolated geographically, planters and other slaveholders had migrated into Texas from eastern states to escape the fighting, and many brought enslaved people with them.Although most lived in rural areas, more than 1,000 resided in both Galveston and Houston by 1860. By 1865, there were an estimated 250,000 enslaved people in Texas.Despite the surrender of General Robert E. Lee at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865, the western Army of the Trans-Mississippi did not surrender until June 2.On Monday, June 19, 1865, Union Major General Gordon Granger arrived to Galveston, Texas, to enforce the emancipation of its slaves and oversee a peaceful transition of power.The Texas Historical Commission and Galveston Historical Foundation report that Granger's men marchedThroughout Galveston reading General Order No 3: “The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute... ...equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes... ...that between employer and hired labour. The freedmen are advised to remain quietly at their present homes and work for wages. They are informed that they will not... ...be allowed to collect at military posts and that they will not be supported in idleness either there or elsewhere.”It was from that moment that Juneteenth would be born.EARLY CELEBRATIONSFormerly enslaved people in Galveston celebrated after the announcement. The following year, freedmen in Texas organized the first of what became the annual celebration of "Jubilee Day."On January 2, 1866, a Galveston newspaper, reported on an Emancipation Celebration:“The colored people of Galveston celebrated their emancipation from slavery yesterday by a procession.Notwithstanding the storm some eight hundred or a thousand men, women and children took part in the demonstration.”Flake's Bulletin, 2 January 1866.Early celebrations were used as political rallies to give voting instructions to newly freed slaves. Early independence celebrations often occurred on January 1 or 4.OFFICIAL RECOGNITIONIn the late 1970s the Texas Legislature declared Juneteenth a “holiday of significance, particularly to the blacks of Texas", becoming the first state to establish Juneteenth as a state holiday.The bill passed through the Texas Legislature in 1979 and was officially made a state holiday on January 1, 1980.Recognition of Juneteenth varies across the United States. It is not officially recognized by the federal government, although the Senate unanimously passed......a simple resolution in 2018 in honour of the day, and legislation has been introduced in Congress to make it either a "national day of observance" or a full-scale federal holiday.The only three states yet to legally recognize Juneteenth as either a state or ceremonial holiday are Hawaii, North Dakota, and South Dakota.In 2020, Juneteenth was formally recognized by New York City (as an annual official city holiday and public school holiday, starting in 2021)CELEBRATIONSThe holiday is considered the "longest-running African-American holiday" and has been called "America's second Independence Day".Juneteenth is usually celebrated on the third Saturday in June. It was common for former slaves and their descendants to make a pilgrimage to Galveston.Observance today is primarily in local celebrations. In many places Juneteenth has become a multicultural holiday, Including lectures and exhibitions on African-American culture.Traditions include public readings of the Emancipation Proclamation, singing traditional songs and reading of works by noted African-American writers.Celebrations include picnics, rodeos, street fairs, cookouts, family reunions, park parties, historical reenactments, blues festivals and Miss Juneteenth contests.Historian Mitch Kachun considers that celebrations of the end of slavery have three goals: "to Celebrate, to Educate, and to Agitate."To learn more about black history visit www.blackfacts.com.

Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Juneteenth marks the anniversary of the announcement of General Order No. 3 by Union Army general Gordon Granger on June 19, 1865, proclaiming freedom for enslaved people in Texas. Originating in Galveston, the holiday has been celebrated annually on June 19 in various parts of the United States since the 1860s, often broadly celebrating African-American culture. The day was first recognized as a federal holiday in June 2021, when President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law.Early celebrations date to 1866, at first involving church-centered community gatherings in Texas. They spread across the South and became more commercialized in the 1920s and 1930s, often centering on a food festival. Participants in the Great Migration out of the South carried their celebrations to other parts of the country. During the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, these celebrations were eclipsed by the nonviolent determination to achieve civil rights, but grew in popularity again in the 1970s with a focus on African American freedom and African-American arts. Beginning with Texas by proclamation in 1938, and by legislation in 1979, each U.S. state and the District of Columbia have formally recognized the holiday in some way. With its adoption in certain parts of Mexico, the holiday became an international holiday. Juneteenth is celebrated by the Mascogos, descendants of Black Seminoles who escaped from slavery in 1852 and settled in Coahuila, Mexico.Celebratory traditions often include public readings of the Emancipation Proclamation, singing traditional songs such as "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" and "Lift Every Voice and Sing", and the reading of works by noted African-American writers, such as Ralph Ellison and Maya Angelou. Some Juneteenth celebrations also include rodeos, street fairs, cookouts, family reunions, park parties, historical reenactments, and Miss Juneteenth contests. In 2021, Juneteenth became the first new federal holiday since Martin Luther King Jr. Day was adopted in 1983.For more podcasts visit, www.steveryan.comSupport the show
(This conversation was originally broadcast on June 18, 2021) Tom's guest on this archived edition of Midday is the author and historian Annette Gordon Reed. She is best-known for her study of Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson. Her book, The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family, won sixteen book prizes, including the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. Her latest book is a beautiful peroration on the meaning of the holiday known as Juneteenth, which marks the anniversary of a significant historical event: on June 19th, 1865, Major General Gordon Granger issued General Order No. 3 in Galveston, Texas, declaring that all slaves were free, two months after General Robert E Lee had surrendered to Gen. Ulysses S Grant in Appomattox, Virginia. Juneteenth celebrations of this belated emancipation originated among African American communities in Texas, and now take place around the country. Gordon-Reed's book is at once an homage to her home state of Texas, and a wholly original and fascinating exploration of how history and legend and myth all shape what we learn when we're young, how our understanding evolves as we grow older, and how social dynamics inform the evolution of societal understanding. Professor Reed writes with erudition and grace, authority and humility, weaving a touching personal memoir into the stark reality of a harsh historical record. Her book is called On Juneteenth. Annette Gordon Reed joined Tom on Zoom from her home in New York. They spoke just a few days before President Biden signed a congressional bill making Juneteenth a federal holiday. Because this conversation was recorded earlier, we can't take any calls or comments. ____________________________________ Here's a list of some local public events happening this weekend in observance of Juneteenth: The historic Hosanna School Museum hosts the Annual Upper Bay Juneteenth Festival in Darlington on Saturday from 12-6pm. Hosanna School Museum was the first of three Freedmen's Bureau schoolhouses erected in Harford County. The building was used as a school, community meeting place and church. In 1879, Harford County School Commissioners assumed operation of the school and Hosanna remained an active schoolhouse for African American children until 1946. Juneteenth Community Walk on Saturday, starting at 10:30am at the Pennsylvania Avenue AME Zion Church. On Sunday: Freedom Day Festival from11am-6pm at German Park and a Juneteenth Festival at the Dovecote Café in Reservoir Hill.

Though the Juneteenth holiday was passed as a federal law in 2021 that derived from a lifelong dream of Fort Worth, Texas resident Opal Lee, many may not know Galveston, Texas is where Juneteenth was actually born. Juneteenth and General Order No. 3, read by Major General Gordon Granger on June 19, 1865 announcing that all slaves were free, is one of Galveston's most important historical moments. In Galveston and around the world, Juneteenth is observed with speeches and song, picnics, parades, and exhibits of African-American history and art. However, when it comes to having events at venues that were the previous grounds of slave plantations, some black people struggle with feeling offended, whereas others of the same race feel it's important to give truth to what happened in these spaces. And what about the pursuit of economic equality for African Americans and its relation to Juneteenth? With organizations like the Galveston Historical Foundation, being able to experience the live tour of their Ashton Villa "And Still We Rise" exhibit is a place where many will be surprised in knowing the bricks that the space was built with were made by slaves before June 19. Then there's the history of Emancipation Park, a place that's said to be one of the most sacred spaces in the city of Houston. While live on location in the birthplace of Juneteenth, we take calls and give our listeners an opportunity to respond to history experts as they discuss why Juneteenth is a celebration of black history, black beauty, and community but also complexity.

Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day. It's a day of remembrance for those who have died serving in the US military.Memorial Day was borne out of the Civil War (which ended in 1865) and a desire to honor our dead. On the 5th of May in 1868, General John Logan who was the national commander of the Grand Army of the republic, officially proclaimed it in his General Order No. 11. “The 30th of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land.”
This Week in a special Show Me Missourah we sat down with Judge Stephen Limbaugh and former Lt. Governor Peter Kinder for a chat about all of Missouri history. Judge Limbaugh hosted us at the Rush Hudson Limbaugh Federal Courthouse near the river in downtown Cape Girardeau. We held a brief Ron Richard Fan Club meeting, discussed the River Campus and learned that all three of us have prints of George Caleb Bingham's famous painting General Order No. 11 in our offices. We also discussed the editorial that then Senators Kinder and Ehlmann wrote about the official ending of the Civil War in Missouri. Catch up on the history of Missouri one county at a time on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

(This conversation was originally broadcast on June 18, 2021) Tom's guest on this archived edition of Midday is the author and historian Annette Gordon Reed. She is best-known for her study of Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson. Her book, The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family,won sixteen book prizes, including the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. Her latest book is a beautiful peroration on the meaning of the holiday known as Juneteenth, which marks the anniversary of a significant historical event: on June 19th, 1865, Major General Gordon Granger issued General Order No. 3 in Galveston, Texas, declaring that all slaves were free, two months after General Robert E Lee had surrendered to Gen. Ulysses S Grant in Appomattox, Virginia. Juneteenth celebrations of this belated emancipation originated among African American communities in Texas, and now take place around the country. Gordon-Reed's book is at once an homage to her home state of Texas, and a wholly original and fascinating exploration of how history and legend and myth all shape what we learn when we're young, how our understanding evolves as we grow older, and how social dynamics inform the evolution of societal understanding. Professor Reed writes with erudition and grace, authority and humility, weaving a touching personal memoir into the stark reality of a harsh historical record. Her book is called On Juneteenth. Annette Gordon Reed joined Tom on Zoom from her home in New York. They spoke just a few days before President Biden signed a congressional act making Juneteenth a federal holiday. Because the conversation was recorded earlier, we can't take any calls or comments. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

June was a month that wasn't without its momentous moments. From the Derick Chauvin trial sentencing to the first national celebration of Juneteenth, there were cultural events that provoked responses all around us. In a day and age when it's easy to adopt how we feel from a steady stream of social media and the news, we wanted to step away, hit pause from the hot takes, come together and reflect - how do we actually feel about these events personally? How should we feel about these events? Is there a right way? And when there isn't, we continue in our commitment at the table to be of one heart even when we aren't of one mind, loving deeply even when we disagree.

In this special episode of Pass The Mic, Jemar reflects on Juneteenth after it became a national holiday and was officially commemorated nationwide. He talks about why Juneteenth should be a national holiday and the unintended consequences of taking a Black-centered holiday and making it mainstream. He also delves into the history (of course!) as he discusses the actual contents of General Order No. 3 which was read to enslaved Black people in Galveston, TX on June 19, 1865. Finally, Jemar discusses some reasons why Black and white people should commemorate and celebrate Juneteenth in different ways. Even though the holiday has passed, this episode helps shape the narrative of how we should acknowledge Juneteenth as a nation in future years.

Galveston native Sam Collins III had a vision to bring Texas history and the Juneteenth story to its home in a grand way. Enlisting the help of a team of artists, technology experts, and the Galveston community, the Juneteenth Legacy Project came to life at the very site where General Granger issued General Order No. 3. Learn about Galveston's newest civic asset and the need for more Texas history, not less, from Sam Collins III in this bonus episode of Wise About Texas.
I always refer to the brilliant Dinesh D'Souza, as India's Gift To America. One of his tweets went viral this past week.... “Democrats prefer #juneteenthday to the real occasion on which slavery was abolished—the date the 13th Amendment was passed permanently ending American slavery. This is an awkward day for Democrats because the vast majority of them—even in the North—opposed the 13th Amendment!” - Twitter, June 19, 2021, The Liberty Daily, by J.D. Rucker There are three days that would be far more historically accurate, and NOT just a false representation of the ending of slavery: The amendment was passed by Congress on January 31, 1865. It was ratified by the required 27 of the then 36 states on December 6, 1865 and proclaimed on December 18, 1965. Any of these three days are FAR MORE ACCURATE in the history of abolishing slavery and starting the diminishment of racism in America than “Juneteenth” which is the anniversary date of June 19, 1865. It was on that day that the announcement of General Order No. 3 by Union Army general Gordon Granger was made, proclaiming and enforcing freedom of enslaved people in Texas, which was the last state of the Confederacy with institutional slavery. The fake administration made a real show of the JUNETEENTH DAY occasion, if for no other reason than to overshadow our upcoming national celebration of our emancipation from England on July 4, 1776. Democrats have successfully, confused the last few generations of 'people of color' about the history of slavery, with many believing that the Democrats were the heroes of emancipation, when in fact they were the enemies. It would be a great idea for you to watch the film - LINCOLN (starring Daniel Day Lewis) - just to see what lengths the GREAT EMANCIPATOR went through to end slavery legally. The Emancipation Proclamation did NOT do it. My great-grandmother (Lillian Harris Payne) was known for her annual Emancipation Day pageants in Richmond VA, held on the December or January dates, in the previously segregated colored section of Richmond known as Jackson Ward, complete with entertainment, a parade, speeches by former slaves, and food...and it was a big deal. The residents of the late 19th and early 20th century, loved Lincoln and Republicans, as much as Donald Trump is loved today. Of course, there were the losers of the war, the Democrats, carrying out their plan to murder this beloved President...and the rest is history. This is why the true history of the passing and ratification of the 13th Amendment, are hidden in this fake celebratory gesture, which the Left has used to distract Americans from the AZ and GA AUDITS, the BORDER Crisis, the deadly JABS, rising gas and food prices, and the increasing violence in communities of color, and attacks on innocent citizens, BY people of color. Distractions have worked well in the past for deep state cabal, but people, even a significant number of 'black' folks are realizing that the Left has always been the REAL enemies of freedom in America.

Buckle up and get ready to have a good time. We start with talking about MacKenzie Scott the American novelist and philanthropist. She's up to her same old habits of donating money to help the world. At this point she has become family to the show. Next we pay tribute to Juneteenth. Juneteenth was recognized as a federal holiday on June 17, 2021, when President Joe Biden (Money Bags Joe) signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law. Juneteenth's commemoration is on the anniversary date of the June 19, 1865, announcement of General Order No. 3 by Union Army general Gordon Granger, proclaiming and enforcing freedom of enslaved people in Texas, which was the last state of the Confederacy with institutional slavery.Sometimes when you hear a song from your past that you haven't heard in a long time, that song takes you back to a special time in your life. This week in "Trav's R&B Corner" we take it back and get "Foolish" with one of the most infamous remix beats of all time.And once again we bring in our special guest Old Man for another edition of "Easy Money w/ Old Man." This week we start the conversation around budgeting tools and we have the "Stock of the Week."Finally get a word of encouragement and inspiration from this week's edition of "Drop a Gem."
An Excerpt From Be The Bridge Blog June 19th, 2020 “Happy Juneteenth, a special day on which we celebrate Black freedom and achievement… …Slavery persisted in the southern US after the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. In remote corners of the Confederacy, news of slavery's end did not come until more than two months after Robert E. Lee's reluctant surrender in April 1865. The day General Order No. 3 was finally delivered to the people of Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865, is the day slavery finally ended in the Confederacy. Juneteenth commemorates this announcement. It is important to note that slavery was not fully abolished until the passage of the 13th amendment on December 6. 1865. As we all know, the end of slavery did not mark the end of discrimination. Black people in America have had to overcome countless social injustices throughout history and continue to fight for equality today. Juneteenth is important not just for Black Americans but for all Americans…Juneteenth and the events leading up to freedom for all Americans must be understood and supported by all, so everyone can have the opportunity to live in a just society that does not discriminate on the basis of the color of your skin or any other differences. Juneteenth is also a celebration of the many achievements of the Black community and the richness of African American heritage. On Juneteenth, many families get together to eat, dance, and celebrate their culture. They may also take this time to honor the history of their ancestors whose stories stretch back thousands of years to African civilizations.” As a church, and more importantly as Christ-followers, we seek to fulfill the command that Jesus gave to his disciples at the last supper “As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another.” This command follows the example of Jesus humbling himself in the form of a servant by washing his own disciples' feet and is followed by Jesus demonstrating the extent of his love by dying a humiliating and painful death for all humankind. Sometimes, in moments like these, we hear people criticize or attempt to politicize the conversation. For many of us, Juneteenth is something new we're still learning about. For some of us, it might be something we're learning about for the first time. For some of us, this might be a conversation that we're struggling with because we're not sure how it fits with what we were taught or have believed. But for others of us, this day of remembrance holds a special, or painful, or complicated reality. As Christ-followers and as fellow human beings let us all do our best to prioritize love above all else. We encourage you to do what is always good to do: To listen to the hearts and stories of others. To respect and love your neighbors, family, and friends. To celebrate with those who are celebrating and to mourn with those who are mourning. To pray and seek God's will for our country, our community, and our church.

Happy Jubilee Day! In this episode of the Better U Leadership podcast, Angela shares a few facts about the new Juneteenth National Independence Day law. Juneteenth (officially Juneteenth National Independence Day and historically known as Jubilee Day, Black Independence Day, and Emancipation Day) is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating emancipation of enslaved African Americans. It is also often observed for celebrating African American culture. Originating in Galveston, Texas, it has been celebrated annually on June 19 in various parts of the United States since 1866. The day was recognized as a federal holiday on June 17, 2021, when President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law. Juneteenth's commemoration is on the anniversary date of the June 19, 1865, announcement of General Order No. 3 by Union Army general Gordon Granger, proclaiming and enforcing freedom of enslaved people in Texas, which was then the last state of the former Confederacy in which slavery was still being permitted by the state government.

On June 19, 1865, union general Gordon Granger landed in Galveston and issued some general orders. His General Order No. 3 informed the people of Texas that all the slaves in Texas were now free. Since then, "Juneteenth" has been celebrated in Texas as the anniversary of emancipation. Juneteenth became an official Texas state holiday in 1980. In 2021, the U.S. followed Texas' lead and now a fateful day in Texas history is a holiday for the entire nation. Learn the history behind the emancipation proclamation and General Order No. 3 from the author who literally wrote the book on Juneteenth in this episode of Wise About Texas.
On June 19, 1865, just after the end of the Civil War, Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas and read General Order No. 3 informing Texas slaves that the Emancipation Proclamation had been signed two and a half years earlier by President Lincoln. June 19th has long been referred to as "Juneteenth" in the African-American community and is the oldest national commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Since 1979, Juneteenth has been an official Texas holiday. Last week, President Biden signed a new law making Juneteenth the 11th Federal Holiday, a commemoration that will now be celebrated all over the country.

Juneteenth is the day on which we celebrate the emancipation of the enslaved in the United States. It commemorates June 19, 1865 – the date that General Gordon Granger proclaimed freedom for slaves in Texas. In 1872, Black leaders raised $1,000 to purchase land in Houston, now known as Emancipation Park, to celebrate Juneteenth. In 1938, Texas governor James Allred proclaimed the date be set aside for the observance of Emancipation Day. In the late 1970s, the Texas Legislature declared Juneteenth a "holiday of significance,” becoming the first to establish it as a state holiday. On this year's Juneteenth, a new 5,000-square-foot mural will be dedicated in Galveston. Entitled “Absolute Equality,” the mural marks the spot where General Order No. 3 was issued by Maj. Gen. Granger. And, Juneteenth National Independence Day is now a federal holiday, signed into law yesterday by President Biden. Activist Opal Lee, known as the Grandmother of Juneteenth, played an instrumental role in the holiday's journey to law, spending decades advocating for the date to be recognized nationally. To help us better understand the history of this holiday and the journey of African Americans in the state of Texas, we welcome to the program historian, author and native Texan Annette Gordon-Reed, the Carl M. Loeb University Professor at Harvard. Professor Gordon-Reed has won 16 book prizes, including the Pulitzer Prize in History in 2009 and the National Book Award for Non-Fiction in 2008 for “The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family.” Her current book is “On Juneteenth.” Here's How To Celebrate Juneteenth In The Houston Area Town Square with Ernie Manouse is a gathering space for the community to come together and discuss the day's most important and pressing issues. Audio from today's show will be available after 5 p.m. CT. We also offer a free podcast here, on iTunes, and other apps.

Juneteenth commemorates the day (June 19, 1865) when Union General Gordon Grainger announced General Order No.3 proclaiming freedom from slavery in Texas. Celebrations of the date happened at the time, but eventually took a back seat to the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s.

June 19 marks Juneteenth, a day of remembrance for the Black community, specifically recognizing Emancipation Day. And while HIStory tells us on June 19, 1865, General Order No. 3 was read in Galveston, Texas there is so much more to be revealed. Historian, conflict mediator and podcast creator Lettie Shumate helps us impact the much deeper lessons and legacy of the sacred day.
The heat knob cranks up under that frog.
American Jews served in the ranks of both the Union and Confederacy during the Civil War. Several major events stand out as milestones in American Jewish History during that time period. The first was the appointment of the first Jewish chaplain in the United States armed forces, through the lobbying efforts of Rev. Arnold Fischel, with Jacob Frankel receiving the first commission. Next came the infamous General Order No. 11, when General Ulysses S. Grant ordered and expulsion of "Jews as a class" from his military jurisdiction, due to their alleged involvement with illegal trade. Finally we have the story of Judah P. Benjamin. With Sephardic origins, he rose to prominence as a lawyer in New Orleans, then senator, and finally holding several cabinet positions for the Confederacy.

Hello everyone, Welcome to a special episode of Ken Reads the Classics. Today we celebrate Juneteenth, also known as Liberation Day, Freedom Day, and Emancipation Day. In honor of this day, I thought I would give a brief history and then read the General Granger read on that momentous day in 1865. After Robert E. Lee surrendered to Loyal Union Forces, the United States of America sent Army General Gordon Granger to Texas with 2,000 troops to occupy that state. He arrived on Galveston Island on June 18th 1865 and on June 19th, He stood on the balcony of Galveston's Ashton Villa, then read "General Order No. 3", announcing the total emancipation of those held as slaves. It reads as follows: The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labor. The freedmen are advised to remain quietly at their present homes and work for wages. They are informed that they will not be allowed to collect at military posts and that they will not be supported in idleness either there or elsewhere.[16] There the order ends. I encourage you all to learn more about Juneteenth and our country's troubled history regarding slavery and racial injustice; so that we can all learn how to move forward and heals those wounds. God bless and enjoy your day. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ken-davis7/support

In 1862, Union General Ulysses S. Grant was faced with taking his Army to Vicksburg on the Mississippi River, controlling the recently conquered territory in Western Tennessee and Mississippi, and dealing with traders trying to sell cotton on the black market. In order to face the last problem, Grant issued General Order No. 11. General Order No. 11 expelled all Jews from the territory in Grant's military district, from Kentucky to Mississippi. This was done by Grant because some of the traders were Jewish, but it was a bizarre and hugely problematic decree. Not all illicit traders were Jews, and most Jews living in the area played no part in the black market. Grant's order sparked outrage throughout the American Jewish community and severe annoyance from his superiors. President Abraham Lincoln immediately commanded Grant, through General-in-Chief, to rescind General Order No. 11. Officially, the order was only in place for a month, as Grant did rescind the order. Yet General Order No. 11 would become one of Grant's lowest moments in the Civil War and a political millstone when he ran for President in 1868.

Tonight we celebrate Memorial Day and the legacy of the Irishman that led the cause to create it. General John A. Logan was a County Monaghan man who fought in the Mexican-American War, the Battle of Bull Run, and in the rotundas of the Illinois AND United States Senate. His proudest moment was issuing General Order No. 11, which established an annual day for the purpose of strewing flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of the comrades who died in defense of their country. Tune in as Tim and Mike pay tribute to those who have fallen with music from The Fureys, Bruce Springsteen, The Elders, and Kevin Flynn & The Avondale Ramblers. Thank you to all that have served and continue to serve in the Armed Forces. Memorial Day also means Irish Fest at Chicago Gaelic Park and the boys preview their 30th annual festival with songs from the bands you'll see this weekend including Chicago Reel, Screaming Orphans and The Fenians. Also featuring music from Rory Gallagher and The Gloaming (catch Martin Hayes and Dennis Cahill this Saturday at the Old Town School of Folk Music.) Join us every Wednesday from 8PM to 9 PM on WSBC 1240 AM and check out the podcast at www.windycityirishradio.com
News: Why were we gone for so long? Read this for more info. We are now on a new web host, so hopefully, everything will be smooth sailing from here on out. Amidst the chaotic guerrilla warfare of Civil War Missouri, a small force of Union militia troops is tasked with carrying out General Order No. 11, the expulsion of all civilians from four counties on the Kansas-Missouri border. But each soldier has his own motivations, not all of them noble. When they encounter some unusual opposition, their commitment to their mission, their unit, and even their sanity will be tested. This is an early playtest version of this scenario, and also Ethan's first time running Trail of Cthulhu.

I read these words in a post from a friend of mine on Facebook. It had an impact on me because at that moment I was thinking of how much I planned to enjoy this weekend with my family. However, I had not given one thought to what this holiday means. Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service. Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on May 5th, 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, in his General Order No. 11, and was first observed on May 30th 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. I enjoy many freedoms because of the price these fallen soldiers paid for this country. I can go to the church of my choice, pray and read my bible. I can write this blog and speak my mind. I can create an income and take care of my family and many more. When you have a chance to say the Pledge of Allegiance or sing the National Anthem, please say it and sing it loudly and proudly. When you pray before your meal today, don't forget to thank God for the men and women that gave their life to keep this country free. It's not just a three day weekend, it's much more. Pierce

James Lane was one of the most influential, and controversial, characters in Kansas during the territorial period. Originally a politician in Indiana, he moved to Kansas in 1855 and joined the free state cause. He was involved with the extral legal free state government in Topeka and issued General Order No. 1 to recruit troops that were called Volunteers for the Protection of the Ballot Box. This podcast also features plans to free political prisoners held in Lecompton and a pro slavery newspaper's description of a speeck by Lane along with excerpts from that speech..
