African
American Cultural Gardens, Underground - 4TH
Annual Community Juneteenth Celebration we will have a
candlelight vigil at the Cozad-Bates House where we will
honor our fallen heroes and sheroes. On Saturday
we will gather at the African American Cultural Gardens
for the Community Celebration featuring drummers,
poetry, speakers and refreshments.
The Association of African American Cultural Garden’s
4th Annual Community Juneteenth Celebration will be open
on June 19, 2009 with a candlelight ceremony at 7:30
p.m. at the historic Cozad-Bates House on East 115 and
Mayfield Road where we will be honoring our freedom
fighters and recognizing the place of the Underground
Railroad in American History. We will have
drummers, African dancer’s, poetry, speakers, music and
much more.
The celebration will continue on Saturday, June 20, 2009
with a community celebration at the African American
Cultural Gardens on Martin Luther King Blvd.
Saturday’s event will begin at 12 noon and conclude at
6:00 p.m.
This 2 day event is designed to educate and inform the
Greater Cleveland Community of the historical
significance of slavery in American and African American
history and its influence on the making of America.
Juneteenth celebrates events that happened mainly in
Texas, but also included Oklahoma and parts of Georgia
and Florida. The celebration takes its name from
June 19, 1865; the day federal troops arrived in
Galveston, Texas to enforce the Emancipation
Proclamation, which had gone into effect January 1,
1863. News of the war’s end did not reach Texas
until well after the surrender at Appomattox. Many
feel that the news was deliberately withheld so that
slave owners could bring in one last crop. When the news
finally arrived, it was celebrated with great rejoicing.
Today, Juneteenth is celebrated around the world and
celebrations are a time of reflection, assessment, self
improvement, rejoicing, and planning for the future.
We believe that the strength of America is in its
diversity and in celebrating a multicultural society. We
invite all Americans to reflect and celebrate Jubilee
Day with us. The events are free and open to the
public.
