Heritage Chorale ready to celebrate
Juneteenth
Adopting a tradition from the freed slaves of Galveston in the
1860s, the Huntsville Heritage Chorale is putting the finishing
touches on its first Freedom Feast. The meal will be one
component of the chorale's second annual Juneteenth Concert on
Saturday at the Sam Houston Memorial Museum.
"Most people know about the Union troops reading the
Emancipation Proclamation on that great day in 1865, but few
people have followed up on what our freed brothers and sisters
did afterward," Williams said. "They could have easily looted
and sought revenge, but rather they gathered their little bits
together, prepared a meal on the grounds of their churches and
collectively thanked God for the blessed gift and American right
we call freedom."
"We felt it was important to make this year's concert more than
just musically memorable or acoustically acceptable, but rather
socially symbolic," said program coordinator George Oliver. "We
believed deep down that if this community could sit together at
the table of fellowship, perhaps some of our problems might get
solved."
The effort to organize the feast was led by Dorothy Henderson, a
local caterer and long-time food preparer for the Walker County
Sheriff's Department.
"We're still out there beating the bushes and could use a few
more donations, but we're getting close to our goal," Henderson
said. "We couldn't have done any of this had it not been for the
generosity of Huntsville's great community of faith."
The meal, consisting of foods prepared and donated by local
churches and businesses, will kick off the Heritage Chorale's
evening festivities at 5:30 p.m. It will take place on the
grounds of the museum, and following the feast, the chorale will
perform.
"We've prepared a number of selections fitting the occasion, in
addition to bringing a few non-musical performers to share
poetry, dance and history that will enlighten our audience and
pay tribute to our ancestors," Williams said.
Community members such as Dr. Naomi Lede, Jennifer Roberts and
Tai'Shea Butler will be featured in the program. Also featured
will be soloists and performers from within the chorale. The
program, set to begin at 7 p.m., will be immediately followed by
dessert served on the patio of the museum.
"We have developed this program with community-building and
service in mind," Oliver said. "Groups like the NAACP, LULAC,
Progressive Women, the Roxie Douglas Scholarship Foundation and
Huntsville's Promise have helped to make this day a special
one."
As a service to seniors and others, the Huntsville Heritage
Chorale has arranged for valet parking.
Food donations are still being accepted. For information on how
to donate, contact Dorothy Henderson at (936) 291-8094. For more
information on the program, contact George Oliver at (936)
291-5957. |
