Key Phrase in the video... Juneteenth is not a day of celebration but of REMEMBERANCE... This was a very sad and difficult time in our history. Many of the institutions and underlying concepts the formed the foundation of slavery are still in place, to this day. This should be a day of solemn reflection, planning and intelligent discourse on how to help our people remove their mental chains and make real progress in this nation that our ancestors helped build!! 🙏🙏 We dont need another reason to have a PARTY! 🤬🤬

You are so right! 🎯 It's why I can't bring myself around to attend any of those "celebrations". I thought about attending, but it was just a fleeting thought because something in my soul just didn't feel right about it. Celebrating what I asked myself. The so called "freeing" of enslaved human beings that should have been free just like anybody else on this God made planet?! That was the plan. And then there's the commercialization of it all just like 'Christmas', and Opal Lee claiming that it's 'not a Black thing, it's for everyone'. Nah, I don't agree with that at all. 😚'

Great presentation, however it is noteworthy that the celebration was not called Juneteenth until over 24 years after 1866, in the early 1890's. According to the reference, "Juneteenth". Texas State Library and Archives Commission. Retrieved July 6, 2006 (Wikipedia reference 35), it was "Jubilee Day", based upon the Leviticus 25:10 requirement to "...proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof...", a quote inscribed on the Pennsylvania "State House Bell", which was renamed "The Liberty Bell" in an Abolitionist pamphlet in 1637. Furthermore, Black Americans have historically identified with Joseph, Israelite slavery in Egypt, and Moses leading the Exodus, empoweered by Yehovah (Jehovah) God. Abraham was foretold by God in Genesis 15:13-14 that his seed would be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and that they would serve them and be afflicted by them 400 years, after which God judge that nation and they would come out with great substance. Many attribute this to Egypt, but this is impossible since there was only 144 years from Joseph's death to Moses at age 80 leading the Exodus from Egypt. Furthermore, Joseph's brother Levi was the father of Moses mother Jochebed and the grandfather of Moses' father Amram. There is no way the 400 year prophesy given to Abraham could have been fulfilled in Egypt. As a matter of fact both the Septuagint or LXX, the Greek translation from Hebrew of the Tanach (Old Testament) as well as Paul the Apostle in Gal 3, state that the 430 years of til the Egyptian exodus started from the time the covenant was made with Abraham and lasted until the Covenant made at Sinai. These to witnesses affirm that the sojourn not only applied to Egypt but to the time in "Canaan and Egypt". This is all being said to realize one fact, that the 400 year prophesy started in August of 1616 and ended in 2016, and now the U.S.A. where Jacob prophesied that Joseph's son Ephraim would become "the multitude of nations" or "The fullness of the Gentiles" (Gen 48:19; Gen 35:11 "a company of nations"; Luke 21:24; Rom 11:25) prior to the restoration of Jerusalem to the Jews (1967 Six Day War). Maartin Luther King, Jr. actually prophesied concerning Moses and Joseph in his two most well known speeches, after he and his wife had been to Israel in 1959 in the same year the USA came to the fullness of 50 states with the addition of Alaska and Hawaii. Now the USA is facing the judgment spoken of to Abraham, to Zech 6:1-3 chapter 5; and Rev 6. that will spark the Eze 37 Dry Bones of Joseph's family reuniting as the two sticks of Joseph and Judah in "the wilderness of the people" (Eze 20:35; 1 Cor 10:1-12; Rev 12:7-17; 11:1-15) The Seven P's of Joseph outlines the seven distinct transitions made in Joseph's life from Gen 37 to 48+, which his descendants through Ephraim would repeat as the story of Black American history.(from Pride, to Pit, to Potiphar, to Prison, to Palace, to Praise, to Promise) The final Jubilee of 2016 will now be followed by the judgment on the nations, as on Sodom and Egypt, before Joseph (the Prodigal Son) and Judah (the Older Brother) are reunited in the restoration of the Kingdom under Ye'shua Mashiach (Jesus the Christ) with their "companions" from among all the Gentile nations (Isa 56:1-8). The final Jubilee is about to be completed.

Fathers Day is shrouded in controversy for people of color, as well as Juneteenth. Federal General Order 3, now known as Juneteenth (a day which was commissioned by the Feds at a time when 225,000 slaves were still not freed)…but willfully acknowledged and accepted by those who don’t know……while the official “very late” acknowledgment of the emancipation proclamation should be December 6th…nearly 2 full years AFTER Abraham Lincoln sighed it into law on January 1, 1863 …in the 3rd year of the cival war). The state of Georgia ratified the 13th Amendment in 12/6/1865….so the official date should not be 6/19/1863…but 12/6/1865….By the way…the state of Mississippi finally ratified the 13th amendment on, or about, 2021 ! (Now you know a little more why certain people act the way they do when it comes to Juneteenth)...They don't know!!! (Here the rest of the story, and receipts, brought to light by historian Charles Mack:): kzitem.info/news/bejne/2aeX1paipKSXh3o (kzitem.info/news/bejne/2aeX1paipKSXh3o)…This, right here, is a key reason people shouldn’t be "blindly riding into the sunset with incomplete ideas, of a thing", without RESEARCH.

There are two errors in the first four minutes of this video. 1)General Lee's surrender in April, 1865 did not end the Civil War or the Confederacy. 2)The Juneteenth proclamation ended slavery in Texas, which was the last Confederate state to be occupied. At that point, the Emancipation Proclamation (an early executive order) became moot, because there were no more states "in rebellion" that could trigger it again. Slavery continued to exist in the US after Juneteenth in two states and one territory. This fact is what caused the anti-slavery Republicans in Congress to pass the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution to legally complete the abolition process. The film "Lincoln" depicts what happened quite well. It took until early December, 1865 for the necessary three-fourths of the states to ratify the new amendment (Georgia was the state to put it over), but the ratification was not certified until December 18, 1865. There had been four slave states that did not join the Confederacy, Maryland and Missouri abolished slavery in 1864. Kentucky and Delaware did not abolish slavery before the 13th Amendment was certified. This left only the Indian Territory (now part of Oklahoma) as a place where slavery existed until early 1866. Some of the tribes there held slaves and actually fought on the Confederate side, but they were also considered as sovereign nations. Apparently it took a while to let them know that the Thirteenth Amendment applied to all US states and territories. I believe Juneteenth is an important historic event, and worthy of being a holiday. Its first anniversary occurred after full emancipation had been achieved, and is thus the best date to celebrate it. But watch "Lincoln" as well.

I am sorry that even more cruelty was inflicted as shown in this very educational video. We have so much ancestral negativity to overcome. Hate is not inherent in humans. God does not create Hate. Hate is handed down. We must all work to be the living spiritual sparks of the Creator. Only Love can conquer Hate. Hate comes solely from Fear. We need to join together to educate each other to break this cycle of Fear & Hate. Jesus taught that the most important thing we can do in the eyes of God is to Love one another. Let us be the Light.

Happy Juneteenth everyone As a retired history teacher, I took great pride in constructing and offering my version of US History during February's Black History Month. I set aside the text and conducted daily lectures from the History books and journals authored by black historians. Factual. I was willing to face termination by circumventing school district curriculum in order to tell the true story of black history articulated by black historians. Such as comparing the Black Panthers of yesteryear to today's movie line and not only the blood line of blacks but the great yet hidden amazing accomplishments of blacks. I brought all my books into my classroom for the students to check out as each was given an assignment to read and write a summary of the book they read due before March 1. The exam was constructed from my lectures. All students were offered note-taking lessons as well and were permitted to use their notes during the exam. The surprise by most of the students were accompanied by their joy of finally learning Factual historical events actors by black historians and ancestors of the race.

I view all of us, Black people as one people, because we all arrived at this wilderness of North and South America, as well as the Caribbean Islands at the bottom of the slave ships in which we were sold and captured from the countries of Western Africa. I am not interested in celebrating or acknowledging this JUNETEENTH holiday due to its distorted, condescending, and contradictions as well as falsehoods in its history! I prefer to celebrate January 1st, 1804 which is the year that my powerful and proud people got their true independence by conquering White supremacy and slaughtering our oppressors! That history is more important to me than anything! Toussaint Louverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines are my heroes.

The change that education of truth can make people use common sence or gain humanity morals and such. Just like them coming out saying you will not replace us. Well the change that's dangerous is the country has turned away from truth and facts because they themselves feel that the truth makes them look bad but if they could use their brain they would see it can be referenced as a mistake corrected and it can make us better to remember the bad instead of Making it less tragic. So change is dangerous because there are some willing to fight instead of growing from history. It is history and it's made bad when it's hidden or lied about. Obama as president was a proud day but instead of bring us together in growth of a nation they feel its a threat on their superior beliefs. Dumbing us down to control us is what is in the works of those fighting against change and growth.

I am black and I'm happy that the day is being celebrated. Slavery was one of the most critical events in American history, and at the same time one of the most heinous practices. For those reasons, I think it's right that the nation celebrates its end. Don't Americans celebrate the 4th of July? It's the same thing.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light (Matthew 11:28-30).Sep Only Jesus Christ will you find true freedom, true rest, true love and true peace.

The EP only applied to southern states that were in rebellion. There were four that were not. Kentucky, Maryland, WV and Delaware. Although some of such states ended chattel slavery on their own after the EP, Delaware was forced to end slavery by Amendment 13 being properly ratified on December 6, 1865.

I remember being part of the efforts prior to 1978 to make Juneteenth a state holiday in Texas. I remember that while we didn't feel a day (June 19th) would be accepted, to soften the request we settled on Juneteenth...from June 10th to 19th; that way surely it could be observed on any of these days. This was very informative and unlike a lot on KZitem, accurate. There is however one thing... the lack of "joy or smiles" in photos is because at the time people ( all people) did not smile in photos... go back and look at photos during that time, you rarely see anyone smiling.

Slavery was terrible but honestly that was not the reason for the North invading the South. Not one bit. Lincoln said so himself. College professors conveniently forget the reason. The slaves were released as a result of the end of the Civil War. Lincoln in fact said little nor did he care that much. Call me the racist, etc... (I'm not) but that is the inconvenient truth. "My policy sought only to collect the Revenue" (a 40 percent federal sales tax on imports to Southern States under the Morrill Tariff Act of 1861)." - Abraham Lincoln to the U.S. Congress, July 4, 1861 "I have no purpose, directly or in-directly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so," - President Abraham Lincoln , March 4, 1861 in his first inaugural Lincoln did not claim slavery in one documented statement or otherwise slavery was the reason. Even in his Emancipation Proclamations on Sept. 22, 1862, and Jan. 1, 1863. Moreover, Lincoln's proclamations exempted a million slaves under his control from being freed (including General U.S. Grant's four slaves) and offered the South three months to return to the Union (pay 40 percent sales tax) and keep their slaves. Was slavery terrible? Yes, indeed it was. Was it in any way, shape or form the reason for the civil war? No, not one bit. The uncomfortable truth.

I do not celebrate this holiday and never will because it's a lie that all slaves were free on this date. The real truth is that all slaves were not free until December 13, 1865 with the 13th Amendment that officially ended slavery in this country. I will not celebrate this holiday because black people in the North were still in slavery and bondage and I think its a level of ignorance to celebrate the freedom of only half the black people that were enslaved being set free. If you want to celebrate true freedom day it was in December when everyone was actually set free. I wish that you would tell the entire history of emancipation and not just the part that works for the ignorance of the people celebrating slaves being free when all were not free is crazy to me and shows that history is manipulated to keep people ignorant and unformed about their true history.

Thank you so very much for your commentary and your wonderful historical summery. As an African-American whose lineage goes back to Texas. My mother was born in state of Texas in my family is from Texas. It is quite liberating and at the very same time bittersweet that the old Confederacy continued its tyranny against our people, even though the emancipation proclamation had been implemented even after Lincoln 's Death . The Confederacy though defeated continued its tyranny and and terror upon black people creating indentured servitude, wage slavery, and continued captivity towards us. To rebuild the damaged economy and intwrtructure update antebellum South thoughout reconstruction and Jim Crow . Juneteenth symbolizes spirit and tenacity of our ancestors in their dream to rebuild new lives for themselves and for future generations of African-Americans.

Makes good decisions has privilages over those who do not. White people were hung when helping blacks. You won't teach truth. Hypocrites. Wage slavery was even when the pilgrims landed dah.

What do you mean by re building the south?? When the great migration happened in the 1960s, the northern cities eventually got ruined. People came to the northern states and ruined cities. That's not having any respect for having anything. That is rotten of people coming up north and doing this to things, Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, the majority is a ghetto. People traveled north to work, not live on welfare and not having 6 kids per Family. Obviously people left the cities down there horrible. People don't even know how to live, not like animals. It was very nice until the 60s what a shame.white immigrants were indentured servants too, Ellis Island was full of them. People wanted to build a new life?? What on welfare?? There are so many ghettos in Michigan, Maryland, NY. It's sad. Why couldn't people stay down there and build a new life?? It was beautiful and safe. Not anymore. I didn't have my kids in public schools. There was too much fighting after segregation was lifted. So every Democrat city is pretty much in shambles.

The dates , June 17th 1971 and 2001 are important dates in American History. In 1971 President Nixon came before Congress and announced to the nation, that he was declaring a war on drugs. 2001 was the 50th anniversary of that Presidential declaration. This was was to be prosecuted by the criminalization of American Citizens and the continuation of “slavery by another name “, and lynching by another name . ( Brianna Taylor , comes to mind as probably the most famous recent casualty of that lynching statement ). Not one member of the media mentioned that fact. The signing of the bill by President Biden and Vice President Harris is part of the American system of injustice, suffered by members of the American community. Do not get distracted from the promissory note following the end of Chattel slavery ,following the passage of the thirteenth Amendment. Africans remained in bondage beyond June 19th 1865. The states that remained part of the USA , were still receiving free labor , off the backs of PEOPLE , being held in bondage. Police reform must take place on a national level, to announce to the world , that the American Police system, has a new attitude, a new approach and a new set of standards. As a part of the reparations , the repairing part of restoration, has to be part of American Experiment. Better and longer training ( especially hand to hand combat) and Professional licensing, along Federal DOJ guidelines, are necessary and is a good start. “ Keep your eyes on the prize” we need land, we need access to financing (LIke the “GI Bill ) to rebuild the communities effected most by the “War on Drugs”. We need war reparations. We have the HBCU’s to educate and train future Doctors , Engineers, etc. But we must be safe at home and on the streets. The Policing is broken. The DOJ is returning to the mission that it was first formed to do. Regulating , monitoring and investigating , the way selective enforcement is conducted in communities of color around the Nation. Milwaukee PD , is just the latest broken system , in the news. Reconstruction was ended before the mission was completed. As a result of those actions, we are living the results of that reality. Black Americans were never afforded that harmonious integration into the American Experience.A very different reality greets the communities , where parents have to have “THE TALK”. That experience is now being exported, around the world, as the children of “The Talk” visit overseas and are contacted by Police abroad. There is a new conversation in Police circles abroad , on how to approach Black Americans in their jurisdiction. I could go on , but I will end it here. Stay alert and be safe.

Good information regarding the underbelly of slavery within TX as it correlates with the Emancipation Proclamation (EP). Moreover, June 19, 1865 (Juneteenth). Nonetheless, I'd be remiss if I failed to rebut some of the information wherein or mention other little know facts surrounding the US and slavery. I'd also preface my remarks with; please don't take my word for any of this information. I'd highly encourage you to research using credible sources to fact find on your own; enabling you to conclude your findings. That said: 1. The EP was only applicable to the "rebellious states"; the narrator failed to mention this when reading an excerpt from the EP. 2. Texas was in fact the last state in the South or Confederacy to be forced by Union forces to uphold the EP. However, there were several states that supported the North or Union that "Legally" continued ownership of slaves. The EP was non-applicable, mainly because the Union didn't want to risk losing these states to the south. Those states were: Kentucky, Missouri, Delaware and Maryland. Additionally, parts of Virginia, Tennessee, and Louisiana. 3. 19 JUN 1865, is basically a date that is important to Texas and the Confederacy slave history. Nonetheless, it's not when slavery for African Americans ended. 4. Slavery for African Americans in the US didn't officially end until the 13th Amendment was ratified into the Constitution on 6 DEC 1865, and proclaimed on 18 DEC 1865. In which all states, to include the Union states, was legally forced to end slavery. 5. Another fact seldom discussed. All slavery didn't end in the US until JUN 1866. That's when the Federal Government negotiated treaties with several Native American tribes to abolish the slavery of Native American Indians in the US. This is truly when ALL slavery "Legally" ended in US territories. 6. Actually, according to the 13th Amendment, slavery still remains legal in the USA to this day. Today it's basically called "Penal Labor" instead of slavery. An excerpt from the 13th Amendment reads... "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." Again, please conduct your own research using credible sources and come to your own conclusions...🙏🏾.
