WHAT
IS JUNETEENTH?

Juneteenth or June 19, 1865, is considered the date
when the last slaves in America were freed. Although the rumors of
freedom were widespread prior to this, actual emancipation did not come
until General Gordon Granger rode into Galveston, Texas and issued
General Order No. 3, on June 19, almost two and a half years after
President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.


Juneteenth is America's 2nd independence Day It's time to be recognized
as a National Holiday in America.


Mission Statement of the National Juneteenth Observance Foundation (NJOF): Click here..

"To bring all Americans together to celebrate our common bond of
freedom through the recognition, observance and historic preservation
of Juneteenth in America."

President Obama was a great supporter of Juneteenth as a state senator and U.S. Senator from Illinois before becoming president. As a U.S. Senator Obama was the keynote speaker at several WASHINGTON JUNETEENTH Congressional Receptions
and presented me with a special award for efforts to bring greater recognition of Juneteenth in congress and throughout the nation.

Senator Obama was one of key leaders in a campaign to make Juneteeth Day a
National Holiday in the United States. Juneteeth Day occurs on every
June 19th, the anniversary of General Granger announcing the
emancipation of slaves in the South West. The Holiday would be
celebrated on the third Friday in June.
Here's whatthe NYT wrote about it on 2004:


Since becoming President of the United States (for all Americans, African Americans, Jewish Americans, Hispanic Americans, Gay & Lesbian Americans, etc.)


Arturo Sarukhan, Mexican Ambassador to the U.S., makes remarks with President Barack Obama during a Cinco de Mayo celebration in the Grand Foyer of the White House in Washington, Monday, May 4, 2009. He has recognized Cinco de Mayo (a Hispanic Mexican American holiday celebrating a historic event in Mexico, at the White House),

people confront mass evil

From One News Now

In a presidential proclamation on the White House website, Barack Obama has lauded what he calls “the determination and dedication” of the LGBT movement by
proclaiming June as “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride
Month.”

“The LGBT rights movement has achieved great progress,” Obama states in the official proclamation, “but there is more to be done. LGBT youth should feel safe to learn without the fear of harassment, and LGBT families and seniors should be allowed to live their lives with dignity and respect.

Presidential Proclamation
for Gay & Lesbian Month (observed during the month of June, like Juneteenth

Independence Day
, where President Obama has again refused to issue a proclamation or recognize with a celebration at the White House,
built by Americans of African descent during the tyranny of
enslavement, along with the U.S. Capitol), and other examples, like

White House engraving

Slaves helped build White House, U.S. Capitol

Twelve American presidents owned slaves and eight of them, starting with Washington, owned slaves while they lived in the White House. Almost from the very start, slaves were a common sight in the executive mansion. A list of construction workers building the White House in 1795 includes five slaves - named Tom, Peter, Ben, Harry and Daniel -- all put to work as carpenters. Other slaves worked as masons in the government quarries, cutting the stone for early government buildings,
including the White House and U.S. Capitol. According to records kept by the White House Historical Association, slaves often worked seven days a week -- even in the hot and humid Washington summers
. One president even said that it was worth it 2 go 2 war, in order 2 keep slaves

Obama's personal recognition of other ethnic American days,
including St. Patrick's Day (for Irish Americans), etc.


The first African American President of the United States now has the opportunity to bring closure to this ugly chapter in American history by

recognizing and issuing a Presidential Proclamation with a celebration of Juneteenth at the White House & U.S. Capital as he has done for Jewish Americans, Hispanic Americans, Gay & Lesbian Americans, etc .

the day when slaves in the last geographic area in America where slavery existed learned of their freedom.

GENERAL ORDER NO. 3



Harriet Tubman with escaped slaves at an

Underground Rail Road Station


The Underground Railroad was a secret network of safe houses. Those safe houses were houses that the people living in it were against slavery. When going for their freedoms the slaves could stay and eat, rest, and got new clothes. The Underground Railroad Started in the south states (the states were slavery was aloud) and ended in the north states (the states were slavery wasn't aloud).

Harriet Tubman’s Role in Montgomery’s Raids

Harriet Tubman


HARRIET TUBMAN


Harriet Tubman, often called the “conductor” of the
Underground Railroad, accompanied Colonel James Montgomery and the 2nd
South Carolina regiment during the June 1863 raids on the Combahee River rice
plantations. Tubman was a runaway slave and a major conductor on the
underground railroad who helped dozens of enslaved blacks escape and
led them to sanctuaries in the Northern states and in Canada. Read more..

ABOUT THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD


Harriette "MOSES" Tubman

She never lost a passenger on the underground railroad .

Among her passengers were musicians, future politicians and many others who help to build this great nation in which we live! Little did we know her actions would help create and preserve a legacy..

African chants & drums, field songs, gospel,
blues, ragtime, fiddles, and horns
African American Classical Music "JAZZ" was born!

Guided by her “visions,” she has never lost a passenger. Even if Moses can’t fit you into her next group, she’ll tell you how to follow the North Star to freedom....

CHANGE!

President Barack Obama must put the icing on the cake and bring closure to the millions of African Americans who were taken from their homeland and forced into over 400 years which is considered as one of the most ugly chapters in U.S. history. Issue and sign a proclamation with a celebration at the
White House
or the U.S. Capital



The Emancipation Proclamation
was signed by President Abraham Lincoln on September 22, 1862, and
issued on
January 1, 1863.

14th Amendment
to the U.S. Constitution


14th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified on July 9, 1868, and granted citizenship to “all persons born or naturalized in the United States,” which included former slaves recently freed. In addition, it forbids states from denying any person "life, liberty or property, without due process of law" or to "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” By directly mentioning the role of the states, the 14th Amendment greatly expanded the protection of civil rights to all Americans and is cited in more litigation than any other amendment.
