#UUAGA
General Assembly is fast approaching, and there is so much to remind us of life, joy, and liberation. This year, as we head into our time together to do the business of the faith, we are blessed with an opportunity to celebrate Juneteenth with Black Lives of UU! All are welcome to join this service on Wednesday, June 19th to honor Emancipation Day and to center the experience of Black Americans as we remember this nation’s journey with the devastation of slavery and its ending. A link to details about the worship service can be found in the comments below.
#Juneteenth marks the day, on the 19th of June in 1865, when Union soldiers in the United States finally entered Confederate territory in Galveston, Texas to tell the Black population there that they were free. This message of liberation was not given for nearly two and a half years past Lincoln’s signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Despite that added atrocity, we celebrate #EmancipationDay on June 19th each year in Black communities and beyond.
