SUMMARY:The History of Emancipation and Juneteenth
DESCRIPTION:THE HISTORY OF EMANCIPATION AND JUNETEENTH: The Office of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion is promoting this virtual event. \nHistorian Christopher Daley leads a Zoom presentation\, “The History of Emancipation & Juneteenth” on Wednesday\, June 11\, at 7 p.m. \nThis program is sponsored by The Friends of the Englewood Library. \nThe presentation\, The History of Emancipation & Juneteenth\, offers an exciting and engaging exploration of key events and milestones in the journey to freedom. It covers the abolitionist movement\, the election of Abraham Lincoln\, Fremont’s Emancipation\, Hunter’s Emancipation\, and General Benjamin Butler’s “Contraband of War” orders. It delves into the Emancipation Proclamation—its timing\, political implications\, and the people it directly impacted—as well as the gradual emancipation of enslaved individuals by Federal troops as they advanced through Confederate states. The presentation also highlights the end of the Civil War\, the arrival of Federal troops in Texas\, and the historic issuance of General Order No. 3 on June 19\, 1865\, in Galveston\, Texas. Finally\, it traces Juneteenth’s evolution from a local Galveston celebration to its recognition as a national holiday. \nNote: You must register to receive the Zoom link\, which will be sent two days before the event\, and also two hours\, and also 10 minutes before the program.
