Juneteenth Texas reflects the many dimensions of African-American folklore. The personal essays are reminiscences about the past and are written from both black and white perspectives. They are followed by essays which classify and describe different aspects of African-American folk culture in Texas; studies of specific genres of folklore, such as songs and stories; studies of specific performers, such as Lightnin' Hopkins and Manse Lipscomb and of particular folklorists who were important in the collecting of African-American folklore, such as J. Mason Brewer; and a section giving resources for the further study of African Americans in Texas.

Juneteenth has been touted as a national day celebrating the end of slavery. Observances from coast to coast have turned this event into part of the national conversation about race, slavery, and how Americans understand, acknowledge, and explain what has been called the national "original sin." But, why Juneteenth? Where did this celebration--which promises to become a national holiday--come from? What is the origin story? What are the facts, and legends, around this important day in the nation's history? This is the first scholarly book to delve into the history behind Juneteenth. Using decades of research in archives around the nation, this book helps separate myth from reality and tells the story behind the celebration in a way that provides new understanding and appreciation for the event. This book will captivate people interested in the history of emancipation and African American history but also those interested in Civil War and Texas history. As the United States continues to wrestle with race relations and the meaning of full equality, Juneteenth promises to become an important expression of that equality--an Independence Day celebration in its own right, a couple of weeks in advance of the traditional July 4th Holiday. This book will be a welcome addition to classrooms, book clubs and general readers interested in this once obscure regional event now destined for the national spotlight.

With colorful illustrations and a timeline, this introductory history of Juneteenth for kids details the evolution of the holiday commemorating the date the enslaved people of Texas first learned of their freedom. On June 19, 1865—more than two years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation—the enslaved people of Texas first learned of their freedom. That day became a day of remembrance and celebration that changed and grew from year to year. Learn about the events that led to emancipation and why it took so long for the enslaved people in Texas to hear the news. The first Juneteenth began as “Jubilee Day,” where families celebrated and learned of their new rights as citizens. As Black Texans moved to other parts of the country, they brought their traditions along with them, and Juneteenth continued to grow and develop. Today, Juneteenth’s powerful spirit has endured through the centuries to become an official holiday in the United States in 2021. The Juneteenth Story provides an accessible introduction for kids to learn about this important American holiday.

Download Juneteenth Researchers Incorrect about Slaves in Texas: They Knew Before June 19, 1865 Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Juneteenth proponents claim that slaves in Texas first heard of the Emancipation Proclamation on June 19, 1865, two and a half years after it became effective. United States Navy vessels monitored the coast of Texas and slaves of owners in Texas ran away under the Emancipation Proclamation and enlisted in the Union Navy as early as January 1863. Confederate military records detailed that some of them were captured January 21, 1863, after a fight between Union and Confederate vessels off Sabine Pass, Texas. Nearly a dozen sailors that had absconded from owners were crew members on the U. S. S. Morning Light when captured by enemy forces that day. The Union Army landed in Texas during the second half of 1863 and recruiting slaves to enlist and fight their owners to help end the contest was an objective. Major General Napoleon J. T. Dana wrote to his superior from Brownsville, Texas, on December 2, 1863: "Thirty-three men have been mustered in for the Twenty-sixth Regiment, Corps d'Afrique..." Beginning in 1863 slaves ran away from owners at Galveston and accessed Union vessels that were part of the fleet in Galveston Bay. Slaves continued to respond to the Emancipation Proclamation in 1864 accessing Union vessels on the coast of Texas and enlisting in the Union Army. An abundance of critical information escaped Juneteenth researchers that soundly confirmed slaves in Texas were aware of the Emancipation Proclamation two and a half years earlier than asserted. In this publication readers will be shown the missteps made by Juneteenth researchers and how these gaffes brought them to the erroneous conclusion that slaves in Texas first became aware of the Emancipation Proclamation on June 19, 1865.
