Celebrating Juneteenth Independence Day, June 19

“My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.”  Desmond Tutu

On June 19 Americans celebrate Juneteenth, a federal holiday commemorating the day news of the Emancipation Proclamation finally reached Texas.  While Juneteenth celebrates the Emancipation Proclamation which only freed slaves in the South, the 13 Amendment is what officially ended slavery in the United States. President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation became effective January 1, 1863, and people who owned slaves were responsible for telling them that they were free. Many people ignored the order until Union troops arrived to enforce it. Two years later in 1865, Texas was the last Confederate State to have the proclamation announced. 

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day to African Americans, offers everyone the opportunity for reflection, conversation and rejoicing. Promoters of Juneteenth relate that it is a time for assessment and self-improvement, a time to become sensitized to the conditions and experiences of others. Only then can we make significant and lasting improvements in our society that are good and just. You may ask yourself, “What can I do?” as a non-Black, Catholic Christian. Jesus shows us an answer. On this Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, the Gospel calls us all to sit down, listen and be fed on the food that Jesus offers, even when it seems like there isn’t enough. In traditional Juneteenth observance, food is abundant because everyone prepares a special dish. A true Juneteenth celebration left visitors well satisfied and with conversation and thoughts enough to consider until the next gathering. 

Are you able to sit and engage in dialogue centered on race and equality and contribute in a positive way, so that all are satisfied? James Baldwin relates that “We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist.”
