Why It's Important to Celebrate Juneteenth!
Miles Harry,
Freelance Writer
General Order No. 3
extolled the absolute equality of
personal rights and property rights between former masters and slaves.
|
|
For over two
years, under Confederate control, slaves had heard rumors of freedom
but could only hope and pray that those rumors were true. On the day
of, “June 19, 1865” former slaves in Galveston rejoiced in the streets
with jubilant celebrations when the news finally arrived that they
were free!
We celebrate this
historic moment because the slaves held on to their hopes and prayers.
Against all odds those hopes and prayers were girded with an unending
faith. We celebrate that “never give up, never give out, never
say die” faith that the slaves exhibited. It is this
legacy of faith that should always be remembered - A
faith that is our beacon of hope!
Historical Context:
June 19, 1865 was the day Union General Gordon Granger, along with
2,000 federal soldiers, arrived on Galveston Island in Texas. While
standing on the balcony of Galveston’s Ashton Villa, Granger read the
contents of “General Order No. 3” This order was a direct result of
the Emancipation Proclamation that had been issued on September 22,
1882, with an effective date of January 1, 1863.
