What Juneteenth tells us about the value of black life in America
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 июн 2020
- Juneteenth has taken on a symbolic national reverence as the day news of the Emancipation Proclamation finally reached Texas, but, in reality, the emancipation proclamation didn’t end slavery, and neither did the civil war. Reporter Nicole Ellis revisits Galveston, Texas, where General Gordon Granger delivered an order that emancipated 250,000 enslaved people in Texas. Granger clarifying words on the value of black life in America distinguishes Juneteenth as emancipation day. But our ability to live up to that ideal as a nation is best measured in, the days, weeks, and years that followed.

#WashingtonPost #Juneteenth #Descendants
Just remember. We don’t know everything about our black history as everything wasn’t written in books. Unknown stories untold won’t ever be told as those unliving was murdered unjustly to keep the truths buried forever. RIP to our ancestors 🙇🏽♀️
@Lydia Nevins No not true Hispanic slaves were free way earlier and some are light skin so do not trying to be all cool
@paula collins agreed🙏
If the media really cared, they'd talk about Juneteenth every year. The fact that a large group of Americans didn't even know what Juneteenth is reflects on how much the media doesn't care.
*didn't care, until it was made aware.
I have known about juneteeth forever
@Airbornejoe1986 what's one huge difference between now and 20 years ago, I'll give a hint, one is represented by a blue bird. You're comparing 2 different periods of time which is conflating and fallacious.
I think it has a lot to do with the horrible education system.
@@andie_pants because it was demanded not because they are actually genuine.
I didnt know what this was and thats sad that we aren’t taught these things in school.
We don't educate - we indoctrinate.
Texas has the say on textbooks....
Shame on the school district you went to
MorganPlayzRBLX you are so right they need to
The home is the first place where a child learns and the parents are the teachers. Do not rely on an institution to teach you your own history.
The fact that we just now are acknowledging juneteenth says a lot about the situation
Why? Slavery ended on Dec. 18, 1865 when the 13th Amendment was adopted. President Lincoln only freed the slaves in the Southern States. For some reason only a small number of people knew about this Juneteenth holiday, even spell check didn't know about it.
@@unseen8513 we are the most gullible people on earth. Juneteenth is a nothing burger.
Back then I thought it was a made up smash up term by the younger generation: "june" "teen". Heard it one time long ago and never again 'til now.
@John Johnson now a year later during juneteenth "celebrations" there were straight murders and assasinations... I dont know about you but I will be steering clear of anything juneteenth. Seems a little to violent for my taste
@@austinbutler1291 why would you be scared/wary of a holiday? It makes no sense logically for you to feel that way, it's like saying that children go missing on oct 31 so you should not celebrate Halloween...
You know what's crazy? I was introduced to Juneteenth through Call of Duty Black Ops 2...
Juan Manuel Penaloza you know what else is crazy Call of Duty Infinite Warfare (2016) war in space, 2020 we have a space army program. The Division (2016), 2020 covid.

It's not just CRAZY- it's denied education! It wasn't taught when I was in school either.

And my mom said do something productive uwu
Suddenly, after decades, the Washington Post cares about Juneteenth.
Lmao
That's because they didn't know about it until Trump talked about it.
@@protonneutron9046 They actually have a Juneteenth video from 7 years ago up on the channel, I agree that they don't truly care about the historical significance, but they did at least know.
@Jon Thomas Any excuse to divert from a person's laziness in the current time
@@BrotherCarver REREAD THE OP. They DON'T GIVE A SH!T.
The title says it all...the most important day in US history isn’t even celebrated as an official national holiday
this is one of the Most Insignificant Events/Holidays in American History, its somthing that doesnt Even need to have Hoilday for it, there is so many other much more important things than this such as the Imacipation Proclimation or the 14th Amendment
Agreed. Every ethnicity was a slave at some point, yes even white people. Where is the holiday celebrating the freedom of all the ethnicities? Maybe the Jews and the holocaust would like a day as well, or how about the native Americans who had everything stolen and were rapes and murdered? So sick of this woke crap. Juneteenth is not a holiday in my mind.
This is the first year I’m hearing about Juneteenth...
It's sad so few of us know about and recognize it. It's officially recognized by 47 states, starting in 1980.
Bravo Well done.
"Black lives are valued."
@Dra O
Black lives matter to me.
Even if you're in the dark ages and believe that black people are only valuable if you can buy them and sell them to make money. Did you know that back in the early 1900s some people didn't treat the Irish and Italian immigrants were any better than Blacks.
My ancestors were born Yankee's and Quakers, who helped run the underground railroad to save the lives of thousands of black people from the Confederate Tarrants of the south. They helped them move up into Canada where the Blacks started their own business, schools, Banks, farms and Government. Most of those decedents are still there, around Quebec, doing great.
You should be ashamed of yourself for thinking that Black people are less than white. We are all gods children. We all deserve equal rights, protection and respect.
@George V
If you don't think that, "not all black lives matter", then not all white lives matter either. If all lives don't matter, then you don't matter. God loves all his creation. We are all brothers and sisters in the eyes of God.
@George V
Do you really think that your life is the only one that matters? No body is an island. We all depend on each other. May God bless you with love for your fellow man. The end is near "for you" Repent.
@George V Regarding, BLM
How pessimistic you are.
Have you ever tried positive thinking?
I believe in a better world, and it's up to each of us to be the best we can be, to make the world a better place to live, love, laugh and succeed. God bless the world.
Professor Naomi!!! She was one of our presenter’s today!! She made my Juneteenth so special!
"If you dont value a life, you can take the life. Black lives matter, and should be VALUED." amen ❤
Amen
All Lives Matter, Not Just Black or White, BLM is Form of Racial Superiority, Under the Guise of a regular Group.
Never heard of juneteenth before in my life.
I learned about it in an episode of "Blackish" (one of the best shows in the past decade, imo)
Why did not the god king Hussein O. not make a big deal about it. In fact there are a lot of things that Obama didn't even say a word about, confederate statues, or military bases. He did not bring up this date, or anything about anything really
brian gardner why do you use your words like that, he’s not a god king, he’s just a man like you and I, he s accomplished more than you could ever know, happy Juneteenth
C Gibson thanks for that ,intelligence is a blessing have a awesome Juneteenth
Nihilist I’m the nihilist you don’t exist to me
There is nothing or no one that can explain my value as a black man. I could care less what anyone else thinks. I do not seek approval
You should be proud.. I don’t think the overwhelming majority of the population in America would have a problem with that. The problem comes from people creating fake stats and posting false narratives that the world is against you when in reality we’re all more than willing to help eachother
That was NOT the point.
No one is saying needing to seek approval or confirmation that our life is valuable. But in order for society and systems to change and evolve for the better, OTHERS must know AND act as if Black lives are valued as much as anyone else’s.
@@tonito_el_tigre
riiiiiiight. think that robot
@Justin Jehoshaphat white guy here. It's a way more real reason to celebrate than most of our holidays. If you won't appreciate freedom because the folks gaining it have a different skin color, you're not a true American.
When Trump said that he made Juneteenth famous and that no one had heard of it, he is simply saying that he made it a lot more known and recognized. Which is true as tons of people including blacks have admitted they never heard of it.
I don't remember the news coverage of this day in the past June 19 should have been made a national holiday years ago .
Wrel Rel - You never heard of it because the liberal news media could never benefit from it until Trump scheduled a rally on the same day.
It can never be a holiday. As we speak we are erasing the civil war from our history, and juneteenth has ties to it so...........
@@superbird6176 Yup everyone has a motive. All news is trash.

What does every news outlet suddenly deciding to cover Juneteenth right now mean? Why didn't this story matter last year? Why was this day not made a national holiday by your corporate overlords until now?
Means trump made juneteenth famous
Pandering and placating.
Better late than never..let's look forward!
It's just an attempt to make Trump look bad. Trump's Oklahoma rally was originally scheduled on Juneteenth. Leftists (who had never acknowledge the holiday before) started screaming that Trump was disrespecting people of color by holding his rally on that date.
You ask a fair question. The amount of posts saying "I've never heard of this holiday" is mind boggling. I've known about this holiday since 2010, when I was still in high school (but it wasn't taught to me in history class). People have been independently celebrating this holiday for decades, it's time it was made a national holiday by, as you put it, our corporate overlords.
For all who never heard of Juneteenth...I ain't mad at you. It's not a coincidence you were never taught this. Now, continue down the rabbit hole if you dare...
Thanks for sharing! ❤
thank you for doing this
Everything created with God's hand are the only things on earth that have value.

@@thegreatone582 Yup he cause america to move closer because he tried to move us all apart
I have never heard of this but thank you for sharing
It is crucial that black people realize that WE, WE are a nation of people that were taken into captivity. So if our captivity is up, why aren't we free as a nation? We're being told were everything but a child of God. What's crazy is, WE really are the children of Israel. Tell the truth.
The grandma's shoes are so cute!
“Black lives matter and should be valued”. Many of us who live in poverty in “bad neighborhoods” grow up being taught from tv, movies, and how society treats us that our lives do not have value. And so it makes it that much easier to shoot each other over silly things, and abuse our bodies. We seek love and power the wrong way. When you are shown you have value you live your live differently.
European American's ought to kiss everyperson of colour's feet, thanking them and begging for forgiveness. About a million ho'ponono prayers.
I promise! Being poor is not a sin! But dishonesty is! We must give into the word of God, even two mites! Seek a Gospel Church or make one!! It is Good News & we really need it! 🍒Malichi 3:10
beautiful, thank you for sharing this and creating this
Fantastic piece of work. Thank you. Very well done and informative.
I’ve been aware of Juneteenth for decades, but didn’t know the details till now.
I can't imagine what it does for your self esteem to be sold and not treated like a human. So heartbreaking. I can't imagine what these poor souls felt. The fact that this is even history is just mind blowing. I wonder if slave owners even felt a touch of humanity when they looked in these people's eyes.
You say that but in reality it's the situation that holds power. Social constructs and social "rules" are extremely powerful.
Why don't you go back in time and ask them? Or ask this guy.
This same type of letter may have been sent a thousand times from a slaveholding father to his slaveholding son in mid nineteenth century American South. But William Ellison and his son, Henry Ellison, were different. William Ellison was African American, born into slavery in April of 1790 with the name April Ellison to a slave mother and white slavemaster father, Mr. William Ellison. As a young man he was apprenticed to a cotton gin maker rather than working in the fields and allowed to keep a portion of the wages he earned for his master and father, money that he later used to purchase his freedom. At the same time, he changed his name to William Ellison, after his father, to fit in with higher society. After purchasing his family, he moved to Sumter County, South Carolina and hired out other free African Americans to work in his cotton gin shop. While working, he discovered a common problem among freed slaves in the South. The expense of wages left him with a profit that would never compete with what slaveowners were earning. Wanting to move up in society, he purchased his first slaves in 1820.
Agreed. But you do realize the slavery still exist in Africa and the middle east today? The dehumanization of people is not limited to slavery. The 8 million Jews in WWII executed due to their religion. The 1.5 million Armenian's in Turkey. 4 Million Chinese executed by the Japanese during WW2 for being Chinese. My point is human history is replete with other humans dehumanizing other humans. This is the reason why liberty and justice are so important. Only through the idea and practice that all people are created equal and due justice can we stop future dehumanization and atrocities.
Okay people at no point did I point out that it currently isn't happening in other places or did I point out a skin color. I made a generalized statement of how it was heartbreaking...Why does everyone feel the need to disassociate the current topic with "but did you know"? Stop trying to devalue what has and is going on in our country.
And yes I think the rich, elite, political and powerful people in this country are gross and FAR TOO POWERFUL as a side note.
Incredibly well put 🏁
All my years in school and went through black history month and I've never heard about this ..yea let's make it a holiday lol
It's been a holiday. Just because you didn't know about it doesn't make it not so.
Holiday but wear your mask and carry if you have a permit.
Did you hear about Nat Turner? or Wilmington NC? So if you haven't heard of it or white society hasn't heard of it it must be fake news
You didn't learn that slavery was abolished?
@Randy Smith so you didn't know slavery ended?
WOW thank you for the history of this important day!
any europe holiday will be racist. St.patrick day survives because of alcohol sales.
*We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.*
(Declaration of Independence 1776)
*We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.*
(US Constitution 1787)
*Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!*
(Poem of Statue of Liberty, 1883, the New Colossus)
Thats what we truly stand for. This is what America was all about.
Can you see how this is all mythological when people are enslaved?
The stupid bastards had no true concept of Truth and Justice and Equality for all.
Donasia Tillery
Kimberly Singer
During that time, everyone was using slaves. Even people of the same skin color.
The Japanese had slaves
The Brits had slaves
Tribes in Africa had slaves (even today)
Russia had slaves
Germany had slaves
All of Europe and Asia had slaves.
America had the first progressive idea of freedom. It took 100 years for America to ban slavery after its founding. (btw its the fastest country to ban slavery) 🤟🏼
So.... putting that into perspective; YES, slavery is evil. NO, They DID have the concept of freedom. Jefferson wanted add a 40 word addition to the deceleration of independence, condemning slavery. But it went off topic. (It was a message to the brits basically) So it was excluded.
It was the founding fathers which sparked the idea of freedom for everyone. Abraham Lincoln himself quoted the constitution and declaration of independence. Same with MLK.
Get off your high horse. Being ignorant and condemning the people that helped remove slavery, is f**king disgusting. They had the right idea before anyone else did during that time.

Donasia Tillery
Now.... Im gonna head over to the Juneteenth Celebration Festival here. And I’ll pretend I didn’t see this. Because I wanna believe that people arn’t this f**king ignorant.

One thing that is important to consider is not so much June,19th 1865, but rather the day that the 13th Amendment was adopted, which was 12/18/1865. That was the day that slavery was supposedly completely abolished in the United States-for all slaves. The proclamation by Lincoln was only meant to free slaves in the Confederacy, not in the border states such as Maryland or Kentucky. Of course, slavery was never really abolished in this country. We are still dealing with the consequences of slavery to this day, obviously..
Learning , Listening very Eye opening and Empowering !!!!
I really hope then I am on this planet to see the racist wounds heal that goes for everyone not just a political party
It will never heal because no one will have the conversation. It’s all “I’m right, you’re wrong” and not a true conversation. It’s sad.
Blacks dont want it to heal then they would have give there victim card
Me to but the political parties won’t
Light Fox just say ur racist and go
One Hour I just think that we should all take a step back and just stop I don't know what happened it hurts my heart I've never been so disgusted by the things that I've seen I don't have a racist bone in my body but Obama made me pretty damn close he set us back decades when it comes to race.. why does everything have to go to race you know how tired I am a hearing we got to get the black vote why do we have to label everything.. anyways it's very sad but hopefully one day we can wake up and try to mend heartache

I HAVE NEVER BEEN TAUGHT THIS IN SCHOOL😲! I NEVER KNEW THIS Y?!
You know why? Foh
Even if it isn't taught in schools it should be spread by the media, just goes to show you that the media didn't care a whole lot until recently.
YOU might have but not just like this, I was taught 45 yrs ago that when the President signed the emancipation executive bill, it took much time for the news to reach much of the country because to the poor communication system. That is all this is really
because Texas has a enormous influence over what gets included in national text books (google it)
This system was built to keep you on the bottom,your enemy will never tell you the truth about who you are;read the bible and seek your true history and identity...
Proof that no matter how open you thought your heart and mind were and no matter how much you thought you knew, there is so much truth/history hidden in plain sight that needs to be learned, shared, celebrated and never forgotten. ❤️
Thank you

Probably because there's already an entire month devoted to black history and culture.
Great question, he should have. Bill Clinton should have and every president after Lincoln.

I'm willing to bet most of these reporters didn't know juneteenth existed until someone realized trump scheduled a campaign rally on it.
Nobody outside of Texas did lol
And hardly even the people in texas. If its not forced fed to them, they don't know it
No; Trump didn't know about Juneteenth until he scheduled that rally in a city devastated in the Tulsa Massacre. So he could stick America in the eye!
Transfer from slave owners to the U.S. corporation (1871). Wake up sheep
Alexander Sheppard: Trump didn't know what it was, and neither did his aides or advisors. He had to ask a black secret service agent to learn about it. Also, Stephen Miller, his right-wing, racist, and anti-immigrant advisor, scheduled the Tulsa rally to combine the WORST experience in black history (the Tulsa white riot and massacre in Greenville in 1921) with the BEST day in black history (Juneteenth). Trump is such a sick puppy.
Juneteenth reminds us that declarations, proclamations and orders are important for putting commitments on record, but moral and persevering people of all skin tones make it happen.
I'm on the fence about Juneteenth being recognized as an official holiday. As a nation, it's important to remember various aspects of our history - good and bad - but it all depends on how this will be executed.
