Today is a better day. Happy Juneteenth 2021! A FEDERAL HOLIDAY!!! Still a lot of work to do. Not even close to equality yet. One step closer. No more discrimination!
June 19th celebrates the emancipation of slaves in Southern Texas. Most other Southern slaves were liberated from forced servitude months earlier than this. Why should 19 June be a National holiday when the emancipation on that date only applied to slaves in Texas?
@@dovbarleib3256 Man you can say what you want I'm not celebrating slavery no more and the so-called emancipation the way my people are being treated in this country,not celebrating slavery anymore we are not even protected under the 13th and 14th Amendment which should be equal protection under the law.

I agree. She did a fine job explaining this History. I really had only heard of Juneteenth a couple years ago, and only briefly heard of it then. That's why the last holiday my son asked me what was the holiday, and I didn't even know it was Juneteenth. I try to stay on top of my Black History, but now I know I won't forget it
Yes, sis, while the memories are painful, yet we have to CELEBRATE the history! A history which speaks of a resilient and strong people who STOOD in the face of evil with grace and aplomb!! Our ancestors showed the world that we're a SPECIAL, Chosen people!! Thank you for sharing! You did an AWESOME job, Dr. Shennette Garrett-Scott!!💯
I understand what you are saying but you don't think this should have been taught like history or be taught to us during our black history skit? I knew about June 19 but I'm 49 an I'm speaking as a black woman. If they not going to tell the story the way you just told it (every time June 19 come ☝) make it make sense that it's not us just celebrating with white people cuz we stupid. That not a day you make a buck off. That a learning window. You think y'all would promote that with all the different ways it is to communicate nowadays.

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed watching her documentary, she has soo much information and passion it ignites her charisma, you can tell that she has soo much more to share and not enough time in this segment. Wonderful and beautiful Historian, just amazing to watch and learn about Juneteenth. Thank you for this! Happy Juneteenth!!
Hollywood Airbrush Tattoo - I wasn’t either and it’s sad that I wasn’t and that nine of my nieces or nephews were taught either. As a gay white guy I feel ashamed that I didn’t know about Juneteenth until now
When people tell me they didn't know about Juneteenth it just reaffirms the irony of the day. It took 2 years for slaves to know they were free. That level of withholding information from our community was echoed for years past Jim Crow. The education of our people is the only way we can become stronger together. Rise up, people. Don't let anyone tell you the media wanted to highlight Juneteenth. stay unified. Stay informed. Stay strong.
I am 46 and I heard people say Juneteenth but I didn’t know what it meant. People say how don’t you know about Juneteenth? I respond by saying my mother didn’t know to teach me about it and it was not taught anywhere in public school. So I didn’t know about it until I was an adult. About one year ago during the covid quarantine. I hope that now Juneteenth will be added to the textbooks along with Jim Crow Laws! You have a national federal holiday that is not even mentioned in the textbooks. This is unacceptable.
Rise up? GOD THE CREATOR never said to rise up, Get rid of all bitterness and pride. Marry your lover, don't raise the kids in a fatherless home, WORK for what you want, socialism [welfare] is not of God. Even the disciples of Jesus made it known that they all worked for their needs, not a burden on anyone. ONLY with Godly morals will you ''rise up''. Look at every black nation. Education is good but it isn't enough, it isn't the answer. Blacks are praising the filth of the unGodly black celebrities, Stop looking at whites, look to yourselves.
Never heard of juneteenth and I don't care about any black holiday, whites who are the superior race we don't have a holiday, get out of here with your black holiday.
Thank you conservative and Republican policy 🙏🙏🙏 remember Democrats fought a war to keep slavery instituted in the United States. They consolidated then eradicated the Indians. They kept blacks out of their party until the 1970s. Blacks were in the Republican party at the end of the 1800s. Your trail of atrocities and turmoil are as standard as the disgusting looks on your face.
Oh, I learned so much from this talk. Thank you. And--I gre up in a little town near Galveston, Texas 1946-1964--and it was very segregated then. I'm white and am embarrassed to say knew nothing about alllllllll this. So glad things are changing. And imagine a lot will go on around the current nationwide demonstrations, etc.
I'm from Galveston, and never heard of Juneteenth until I was in my 30s, 20 years after moving north. Not in any childhood schooling, or even college, even after we moved away from the south. It's my belief it was suppressed, just as we were taught misinformation regarding enslaved people, and the war. I'm so pleased to hear Dr. Garrett-Scott's lesson here.
@@cynhanrahan4012 you never heard of it because it’s a damn lie. This is nothing but Democratic leftist distraction propaganda. My lineage is Mississippi Choctaw ..My elders told me that they knew nothing about slavery as the way it was taught to us in school and through media. My grandmother, great grandmother said that they picked cotton and were sharecroppers paid to do the work that they did. Slavery did happen but not the way they tell it...it was indentured servitude = AKA employment minimum wage work. So called black American people are not African they’re indigenous to America and need to stop calling themselves African American. This is a fictional holiday to pacify so called black Americans mind from the fact that this land called America belongs to them they were already here.
@@jesusismyjoy7102 Choctaw is a Native American tribe, why did you name yourself Black Power? First of all. Since were not African Americans, did she say who and why they decided to rename us black? If smallpox was used to take Indian territory, did she say what was used to take black people land? Or did they just give their land up in exchange for beatings and oppression?
@@realgtalktv_5892 he/she wasn't taught this in school, bcz what we were taught in school was revisionist history. I bet he or she didn't know that Mississippi just ratified the 13th amendment in 2013. I bet he/she didn't know that three-fourths of the states (27 of 36) needed to ratify it before it could become part of the Constitution. Mississippi's economy was built on slavery and the state had the largest enslaved population in the country at the start of the Civil War. So why in the hell would he/she know anything about this, bcz we he grew up in the south were not taught the real history of America and, the southern dixiecrats made sure of that would be case.
I am a preacher & motivational speaker and oftentimes I am invited to do something I’m not that...let’s say.. brushed up on... but this video was a diamond in the rough, thank you!
I had heard of Juneteenth and knew basics but honestly had no real idea of the history of it and as an ally to the BLM movement I want to learn as much as I can. She just taught me a lot! I'm very grateful to have found this video in my search! Stand tall! Stand proud!
I am 50 years old and sadly never even heard of Juneteenth until this year. It is a shame this has not been part of school curriculum across the country. I certainly hope recent events bring about a more converted effort to educate our kids from much younger ages. I am generally not a history lover, but this woman speaks with such passion and fervor, she makes learning enjoyable.
The pilgrims translated the ancient scriptures into English for the saving of souls. Kjv Bible. They suffered terrible persecution, imprisonment, torture and starvation then Jesus brought them to America as the new covenant promise land. Genesis 12. Human smugglers deplete our resources the same back then as they do today, but they have always been criminals. 11 states seceded from the union, then rejoined the union when the people elected new government officials to replace them. Abraham Lincoln was a white Republican president who was assassinated after he signed Emancipation Proclamation and not by his own party. We are battling occults, mafias, cartels, human traffickers and you need to step up and help. Isaiah 1:17-20
I've listened to this speaker sometime ago. Everytime that I listen I strongly believe that every household needs to listen to this that history I truly understood.
USA has black lawyers, law makers, college professors, police chiefs, mayors, athletes, black entertainment media, so why are there so many black men in jail? Because they follow false prophets. Repent in Jesus name. Acts 2:38 We battle African mafias, Irish mafias, Mexican cartels, Chinese mafias, Russian mafias, Italian mafias, Colombian mafias, Philippines mafias. Psalms 91 for protection
a roaring fire in 2021. so awesome to have watched this in the past to now watch this again in a new era. there still work that needs to be done in the public square and in prayer at our religious altars.
I'm inspired and I'm not African American. My daughter is mixed ethnicity, with some African American. I've been looking for something to show her about aspects, struggles, and achievements of African American history.
There is a lot to teach her..teach her about selma/civil rights movements..Lawyers who helped like marshall/watch just mercy movie true story . Harriet the woman who helped with underground railroad.lots of black history.
It’s a shame this is not being thought in American schools. I grew up in a different country and learned about it under the subject “America History”. We were thought about how immoral slavery was. And here we’re today, still most Americans are ignorant of their own history. Shameful!
@Ruth Lieberman It truly is a shame, it’s out of sight out of mind in America unfortunately. The only reason people are listening to us now is because it can’t be ignored and even now they’ll find a way to sweep it under the rug
Dr. Jones oops...I meant taught. Although in this context, thought could also mean have not giving consideration to, however it wouldn’t be a proper English sentence . Forgive me, English is not my mother tongue. 😊
Thank you! Truth of history is so important. Many of us just do not know. And as many of us are of mixed races the vibrant history of our ancestors, on all sides, get lost. Thank you again.
I feel so elated to find out the whole truth about Juneteenth, and I am a Senior Citizen who should have known about it in depth. Thank you Jesus 🙋🏽♀️🙏🏾🙌🏾
I really appreciate your seminar on the history of Juneteenth, now we need to write this into our history books and teach it in our classrooms. It should be a part of our American history for everybody to know,.
These type of teachings should have millions of views but African American people only care about artificial fake mess, when we need our True History told all the Time, She was excellent
cassidra cheek Your surely right, I just spoken today about the matters of Juneteenth and the struggle to Freedom it was tough but went through well, and the crowd was mostly Mexicans, and the young black teenagers who really needed to be there to learn wasn't there again 3rd year it's a shame our people just really don't wanna know
the church use to be the truth of the community, respresent the ancestors and honor the struggles. you cant represent half the story in a capitalist society and expect growth. ua-cam.com/video/_3XNFizwilc/v-deo.html
It takes time. But it is coming just wait and see. It will be bigger than any celebration. You will know when its renamed something and stores begin to use it as a marketing strategy.
And we need to really get the history right especially when it's so easy to access it was slaves in America after June 19th 1865 it was still so slaves in Texas after June 19th
She is so awesome and enthusiastic on where she come from and where we come from and where the world has to know that things of darkness does have treasures of life thank you
Glory to our Heavenly Father for a more free life on this date. True freedom isn’t until one has accepted Christ as your LORD and Savior. Galatians 5:1 👑 Romans 6:11

Happy Juneteenth Everyone!!! Today is the first day, 06/19/2021, that Juneteenth is officially recognized as a national holiday throughout the United States of America. It was signed into law this week by President Joseph Biden.
If only black men especially took this seriously and stop the torture that communities then we can start talking but it's not going to stop anyting it's just another day to be off work
Foreigners shouldn't be included in American history because all of their history is in another country. Our schools should teach about people who have been here for hundreds of years.
Can't wait to get my Juneteenth tee shirt and wear it proudly. Why wasn't this taught in our elementary and high schools schools? I''m a class of "79'..... Not fair.
This was great and shows how powerful and amazing our people are! We freed ourselves, we made this holiday stay relevant, we continue to be a beacon to the world as to what resilience is and what excellence looks like. Despite the ignorance, hatred and violence - we continue to rise. Happy Juneteeth black people. I love you!
Are you a USA citizen? Where have you been? Abraham Lincoln was the first Republicans president and other people became Republican because he signed Emancipation Proclamation. Americans admired him for that. Abraham Lincoln was assassinated after he signed the Proclamation and not by his own party. And he was white. Stop obsessing over skin color. We are battling corruption, mafias and cartels of all skin colors. Matthew 7:1-3
The first time I heard of Juneteenth was in Oakland, CA in about 1980. I attended a celebration of the event and first learned how late Texans got the news of emancipation. That was my big take away.
2021 now it’s a Holiday 🎊🎉🥳 I watched this a few years Ago. BLACK AFRICAN DISPORIA ALWAYS WINS..🚫🛑This NOT A CELEBRATION OF THE ESTABLISHMENT BY ANY MEANS.
But where do we go from here that's not going to stop the killings the shooting sprees the violence The rapess the torture and I'm talking about in the black community
While America is giving you Juneteenth, the Biden Administration is helping the British to kill black people in south east Nigeria. In 1967 while black Americans were being given civil rights, this same government did nothing while the British were helping to kill black people in south east Nigeria!
I'm So B1 1ST & FOREMOST. I never Said ANY Administration from the Establishment was a Saint. I'm Highlighting the Fact that the Black & African DISPORIA. ALWAYS 🔥❤️ WINS.

I’m especially excited about this years Juneteenth here in NY. Governor Andrew Cuomo has proposed making it a state holiday! It could become effective as of next year? The government in NY first gave formal recognition in 2004 under Governor George Pataki.
I'm calling president trump and pleading with him to make this a national holiday. This is the most important holiday that should now be rekindled to today. We are moving onto a dark age with these days now. We are having a huge celebration on June the 19th. I encourage everyone who wants America too be United to invite all of your friends to recall why the civil war mattered do much to us as a nation. All men, women or child are equal . Many died fight I. The civil war. Let thier lives not have been in vain. My family proudly fought in Missouri. My great great grandfather was a union solider in the calvary. We were Irish and we fought too free the slaves. We had been slaves to the English. My great great great grandfather fought in the revolution war against the English. They were Scottish. We are a proud people just like your ancestors were. We are one nation under God. I love this video.
thank you for this. I am learned a lot about the history of this celebration, and how it really seems to be more a living holiday that is a reflection of what is in the African American cultural psyche of the moment rather than a fixed celebration. Maybe other holidays are like this, but I can't help but think that on the day a marginalized group can call their own and be seen and heard as collective will naturally become a reflection of what is foremost in many minds from that group in a given period of time.
My mother and father were from Mexia, and would take us there as children to celebrate Juneteenth. My father bought a huge tent and we camped there one of those times. One year, some black boys were arrested and handcuffed, then drowned in the lake after being carried away in a boat. We never went back after that. But it was a huge and great time of celebration for black people.
I am so grateful to be watching us today. I am a white woman who was born just 50 miles outside of Galveston, yet I did not hear or know the word Juneteenth until I was almost an adult. I was raised in Minneapolis, an area of the country that prides itself on being diverse, progressive, liberal, and “better than the south.“ in my public education, and private college education, never once did I hear about Juneteenth. I grew up with racist parents, and I was kept from knowing a lot of black history and a lot of black culture despite having black friends and even family members. I wanted to take today to learn, and this is very informative.
Peace and blessings the worst form of slavery is associated gods with the (CREATOR) of creation and making (THE CREATOR) of creation and image the creat racism let us talk sometime im Raqib
Amazing so many companies, universities, state and local governments are now starting to recognize Juneteenth as a holiday. A continuing refrain, as she said, of a fight for civil rights. Hopefully one day the fighting can be won, and we can truly be one America, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
I really do enjoy the history of Juneteenth and african american history. The 150th anniversary .50th anniversary of the march on. Washington. D. C. I love the freedom we have now and its a federal holiday. Rhonda. Prater... May. God bless you and keep u.
Thank You, History Chirping Lady Bug. I enjoyed your Presentation, especially since my interest in my own Black History, has been reignited. I Thank God, for Everything that Disrupted the Slave Economy. Integration was the Worst thing that happened to independent, Black communities. In Venice, California, where low-income Black Americans owned homes ON THE BEACH, during the 70's and 80's, Gentrification, has pushed those Homeowners of Color OUT! Now, their homes have been economically Red-Lined, and cost $1,000,000's of dollars. Trickeration has replaced the melanin that resided in that neighborhood.
About time but we got a long way to go.They need to teach black history to all the school. They need to know about our history.Amen I am glad that president Biden made national holiday Mrs Scott that was a beautiful talking 🥰😇😘💝💘💯🙏
Oh I love this particular American history we the people need to know this information and possibly find out what parts of Afica we are from, we are the Alfa & Omaga
Blessings and Happy Juneteenth Weekend! This 156 year old celebration is the 1st Juneteeth to be recognized as a federal holiday!! 1. Lincoln's 1863 Emancipation Proclamation, freed ONLY the slaves in these rebellion states of the Confederacy: ▶Mississippi, ▶Alabama, ▶North Carolina, ▶South Carolina, ▶Florida, ▶Georgia and ▶Texas However most enslaved Blacks did not gain their freedom in those rebellion/southern states and the Emancipation Proclamation was largely ignored and generally only enforced when Union forces overtook those Confederate areas. 2. June 19, 1865 --- Union forces arrive in Galveston, Texas. Blacks are liberated by the Emancipation Proclamation and Juneteenth is established. Juneteenth is the longest most continuous celebration of our liberation. The celebration has come to commemorate the end of slavery but it is not the end of all slavery in Texas or the U.S. 3. The 13th Amendment, abolished U.S. slavery 155 years ago in Dec. 1865. The last slaves in the U.S. were liberated a full six months after Texas' 1865 Juneteenth. The 13th Amendment legally abolished U.S. slavery freeing Blacks in: ▶New Jersey and the border states of ▶Kentucky and ▶Delaware (where the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation did not apply) also in the ⏩Confederate states of: ▶Mississippi ▶Alabama ▶North Carolina ▶South Carolina ▶Florida ▶Georgia and (other parts of) ▶Texas Texas did not even ratify the amendment in 1865 when it became the law of the land. Texas did not ratify for a full five years later in 1870. ⏩ Additionally, Black slaves held in ▶Indian Territory were not even liberated for months after Dec. 1865. #blackhistorymatters #happyjuneteenth #juneteenth
That makes no sense, that isn't even a number. We have black lawyers, law makers, judges, college professors so why are there so many black men in prison?
@@blakadvoyo9219 we always had black leaders, lawyers, law makers, college professors, mayors, police chiefs since 1700s before he Declaration of Independence. Look up the history of NYC, established by free black people who became victims of black gangs. Its battle against corruption, immoral people have no morals.
Repent in Jesus name. The human smuggling depleted our resources back then the same as today. They are still criminal outlaws. People romanticize gang bangers, pirates and smugglers protecting them same as today. Stop following false prophets Isaiah 30:1-4
I grew up in Texas and Juneteenth was always celebrated by Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas. Of course it took a while for news to spread from Galveston, Texas to other states. Tha real question is when did tha rest of black America start to recognize this day?? I know they knew nothing about it in Alabama until tha 1990's.
Dr. Shennette Garrett-Scott, God Bless you and thank you for your hard work and contagious energy about the history of Juneteenth. Have you considered publishing a textbook to be required reading in our public school systems?
USA provides regulated minimum wages, safety regulations for workers, labor laws protecting children, workers compensation, life insurance, home insurance, auto insurance, social security. BUT YOU HAVE TO GET A JOB.
at this point we need to talk about "adversaries " and their tactics in this day and time and how to UNIFY and combat them. This is what i think our ancestors would want more than any day off or celebration. # mytwoblackcents

Mississippi's economy was built on slavery and the state had the largest enslaved population in the country at the start of the Civil War. So why in the hell would he/she know anything about this, bcz we he grew up in the south were not taught the real history of America and, the southern dixiecrats made sure of that would be case.
I am a preacher & motivational speaker and oftentimes I am invited to do something I’m not that...let’s say.. brushed up on... but this video was a diamond in the rough, thank you!
Stop judging people by appearances Matthew 7:1-3
Stop obsessing over skin color.
Focus on getting out of sin.

I had heard of Juneteenth and knew basics but honestly had no real idea of the history of it and as an ally to the BLM movement I want to learn as much as I can. She just taught me a lot! I'm very grateful to have found this video in my search! Stand tall! Stand proud!
you win sjw internet today! GOOD FOR YOU!

I am 50 years old and sadly never even heard of Juneteenth until this year. It is a shame this has not been part of school curriculum across the country. I certainly hope recent events bring about a more converted effort to educate our kids from much younger ages. I am generally not a history lover, but this woman speaks with such passion and fervor, she makes learning enjoyable.
What the hell are you talking about? You are 50 years old, living in the greatest country in the world and you dont know who we are?
The pilgrims translated the ancient scriptures into English for the saving of souls. Kjv Bible. They suffered terrible persecution, imprisonment, torture and starvation then Jesus brought them to America as the new covenant promise land. Genesis 12.
Human smugglers deplete our resources the same back then as they do today, but they have always been criminals.
11 states seceded from the union, then rejoined the union when the people elected new government officials to replace them.
Abraham Lincoln was a white Republican president who was assassinated after he signed Emancipation Proclamation and not by his own party.
We are battling occults, mafias, cartels, human traffickers and you need to step up and help. Isaiah 1:17-20

This was excellent! This historian should be invited to speak in many places. Thank you!!!! What a comprehensive review.
WOW how she rolls out this history is great . I'm 67 she could be my teacher anytime look at God's gift working in her 💜
She is a really engaging speaker! I loved this, thank you for the information!
I've listened to this speaker sometime ago. Everytime that I listen I strongly believe that every household needs to listen to this that history I truly understood.
Yes! Thank you for your intelligence and historical knowledge.
Thank you so much for this outstanding lecture. Bless you.
USA has black lawyers, law makers, college professors, police chiefs, mayors, athletes, black entertainment media, so why are there so many black men in jail? Because they follow false prophets.
Repent in Jesus name. Acts 2:38

a roaring fire in 2021. so awesome to have watched this in the past to now watch this again in a new era. there still work that needs to be done in the public square and in prayer at our religious altars.
I'm inspired and I'm not African American. My daughter is mixed ethnicity, with some African American. I've been looking for something to show her about aspects, struggles, and achievements of African American history.
There is a lot to teach her..teach her about selma/civil rights movements..Lawyers who helped like marshall/watch just mercy movie true story . Harriet the woman who helped with underground railroad.lots of black history.
Also enjoy every American need to watch the trail of tears about the native American Indians struggle.

Take her to the bible..
Okay that's good you want to teach her about her ancestors because you'll be learning at the same time 👍
This is not only African American history but this is American history!!!
lol she’s so excited talking about our history i love it
It’s a shame this is not being thought in American schools. I grew up in a different country and learned about it under the subject “America History”. We were thought about how immoral slavery was. And here we’re today, still most Americans are ignorant of their own history. Shameful!
Let’s go auntie ✊🏾
@Ruth Lieberman It truly is a shame, it’s out of sight out of mind in America unfortunately. The only reason people are listening to us now is because it can’t be ignored and even now they’ll find a way to sweep it under the rug
Our history is in the bible but our people don't read..
Dr. Jones oops...I meant taught. Although in this context, thought could also mean have not giving consideration to, however it wouldn’t be a proper English sentence . Forgive me, English is not my mother tongue. 😊
Thank you! Truth of history is so important. Many of us just do not know. And as many of us are of mixed races the vibrant history of our ancestors, on all sides, get lost. Thank you again.
Excellent lecture Dr.Garrett. Lorenzo, MA
Thanks for a very well thought out presentation! I learned so much!
I feel so elated to find out the whole truth about Juneteenth, and I am a Senior Citizen who should have known about it in depth. Thank you Jesus 🙋🏽♀️🙏🏾🙌🏾
I really appreciate your seminar on the history of Juneteenth, now we need to write this into our history books and teach it in our classrooms. It should be a part of our American history for everybody to know,.
These type of teachings should have millions of views but African American people only care about artificial fake mess, when we need our True History told all the Time, She was excellent
Frederick Jones it can't people might learn something
cassidra cheek Your surely right, I just spoken today about the matters of Juneteenth and the struggle to Freedom it was tough but went through well, and the crowd was mostly Mexicans, and the young black teenagers who really needed to be there to learn wasn't there again 3rd year it's a shame our people just really don't wanna know
the church use to be the truth of the community, respresent the ancestors and honor the struggles. you cant represent half the story in a capitalist society and expect growth.
ua-cam.com/video/_3XNFizwilc/v-deo.html
It takes time.
But it is coming just wait and see.
It will be bigger than any celebration.
You will know when its renamed something and stores begin to use it as a marketing strategy.
And we need to really get the history right especially when it's so easy to access it was slaves in America after June 19th 1865 it was still so slaves in Texas after June 19th
Thanks so much for an education in history! Every one must get out there and vote!

She is so awesome and enthusiastic on where she come from and where we come from and where the world has to know that things of darkness does have treasures of life thank you
Glory to our Heavenly Father for a more free life on this date. True freedom isn’t until one has accepted Christ as your LORD and Savior.

This is awesome. Always good to re-educate ourselves in our history!!!!!

Wow so educating! Thanks so much for sharing your research with us. So many have Never heard of Juneteenth. Great Job👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Happy Juneteenth Everyone!!! Today is the first day, 06/19/2021, that Juneteenth is officially recognized as a national holiday throughout the United States of America. It was signed into law this week by President Joseph Biden.
If only black men especially took this seriously and stop the torture that communities then we can start talking but it's not going to stop anyting it's just another day to be off work
No thanks.
Yes
There's still rejection of "foreigners". Now we are fighting for the correct history to get included in schools. This is such a good presentation. 🙏🏽❤
Foreigners shouldn't be included in American history because all of their history is in another country. Our schools should teach about people who have been here for hundreds of years.
@@Khadija667-l5s you mean like the British?
I came I learned.. Thank You..
This talk was so great. Thank you!
Can't wait to get my Juneteenth tee shirt and wear it proudly. Why
wasn't this taught in our elementary and high schools schools? I''m a
class of "79'..... Not fair.
This was great and shows how powerful and amazing our people are! We freed ourselves, we made this holiday stay relevant, we continue to be a beacon to the world as to what resilience is and what excellence looks like. Despite the ignorance, hatred and violence - we continue to rise. Happy Juneteeth black people. I love you!
Are you a USA citizen? Where have you been? Abraham Lincoln was the first Republicans president and other people became Republican because he signed Emancipation Proclamation. Americans admired him for that.
Abraham Lincoln was assassinated after he signed the Proclamation and not by his own party. And he was white.
Stop obsessing over skin color. We are battling corruption, mafias and cartels of all skin colors. Matthew 7:1-3

Thank you.
She is a true educator!
Informative historic accounts of Juneteenth and AfroAmericans' freedoms. Thank You👌👏👏✊👍🏾
Guess what, Dr. Shennette Garrett-Scott!
Its finally a national holiday!
The first time I heard of Juneteenth was in Oakland, CA in about 1980. I attended a celebration of the event and first learned how late Texans got the news of emancipation. That was my big take away.
Texas had no telegraph service in 1865. Several battles occurred after Appomattox.
@@wardcleaver1790 Exactly, information traveled at a highly different rate at those times!
2021 now it’s a Holiday 🎊🎉🥳 I watched this a few years Ago. BLACK AFRICAN DISPORIA ALWAYS WINS..🚫🛑This NOT A CELEBRATION OF THE ESTABLISHMENT BY ANY MEANS.
But where do we go from here that's not going to stop the killings the shooting sprees the violence The rapess the torture and I'm talking about in the black community
While America is giving you Juneteenth, the Biden Administration is helping the British to kill black people in south east Nigeria. In 1967 while black Americans were being given civil rights, this same government did nothing while the British were helping to kill black people in south east Nigeria!
I'm So B1 1ST & FOREMOST. I never Said ANY Administration from the Establishment was a Saint. I'm Highlighting the Fact that the Black & African DISPORIA. ALWAYS 🔥❤️ WINS.
That has A LOT To do with Our Israelite Roots. Being CHOSEN PEOPLE. 🪔 That's OIL
@@4abrownafrica420 MANY AFRICANS NEGATE THE.... AFRICAN AMERICAN EXPERIENCE.🔥🔥🔥JUST LIKE MANY AFRICAN AMERICANS NEGATE AFRICAN EXPERIENCE. 💜💜I LEARNED FROM BOTH SIDES I CAN TELL YOU ABOUT CIVIL RIGHTS &&& APARTHEID. 🎯🎯MANY THINGS I LEARNED ON MY OWN. THE ESTABLISHMENT's Syllabus was NOT ALL INCLUSIVE WHEN IT CAME TO BOTH HISTORICAL BACKGROUNDS.🔥WHERE YOU COULD PUT BLAME.. YOU COULD REPLACE THAT WITH TEACHING WHAT YOU NOW.🎯🍵
I absolutely loved this!!! Thank you for the superior job and you really enlightened me on Juneteenth. Would love to hear more!!
Way to go , Jemar! I learned a lot! So proud of you!
This is very interesting and informative
This was awesome. Thank you for the history.
I’m especially excited about this years Juneteenth here in NY. Governor Andrew Cuomo has proposed making it a state holiday! It could become effective as of next year? The government in NY first gave formal recognition in 2004 under Governor George Pataki.
Sorry but thurs NY Gov is more concerned with valentine's day. 😏-- $Pr1nceHasan
Getting excited about cuomo is like getting excited to get a std 🤪
I'm calling president trump and pleading with him to make this a national holiday. This is the most important holiday that should now be rekindled to today. We are moving onto a dark age with these days now. We are having a huge celebration on June the 19th. I encourage everyone who wants America too be United to invite all of your friends to recall why the civil war mattered do much to us as a nation. All men, women or child are equal . Many died fight I. The civil war. Let thier lives not have been in vain. My family proudly fought in Missouri. My great great grandfather was a union solider in the calvary. We were Irish and we fought too free the slaves. We had been slaves to the English. My great great great grandfather fought in the revolution war against the English. They were Scottish. We are a proud people just like your ancestors were. We are one nation under God. I love this video.
thank you for this. I am learned a lot about the history of this celebration, and how it really seems to be more a living holiday that is a reflection of what is in the African American cultural psyche of the moment rather than a fixed celebration. Maybe other holidays are like this, but I can't help but think that on the day a marginalized group can call their own and be seen and heard as collective will naturally become a reflection of what is foremost in many minds from that group in a given period of time.
Thank you so much for this very informative and educational presentation!
THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜,
Very informative 👏
Excellent presentation.
Much Gratitude
Thank you so much 🇬🇾🤴🏾
It’s about time.🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙂
Thank You 😊 Thank You 😊 Very Good Information!!
Yea It is a wonderful thing to have this day memoralized
Comanche Crossing was and still is located in Mexia Texas.
My mother and father were from Mexia, and would take us there as children to celebrate Juneteenth. My father bought a huge tent and we camped there one of those times. One year, some black boys were arrested and handcuffed, then drowned in the lake after being carried away in a boat. We never went back after that. But it was a huge and great time of celebration for black people.
Happy Juneteenth you guys
Its not even a number, are you serious??????????????
my attention span is short but she did an excellent job keeping me engaged. thank you
I am so grateful to be watching us today. I am a white woman who was born just 50 miles outside of Galveston, yet I did not hear or know the word Juneteenth until I was almost an adult. I was raised in Minneapolis, an area of the country that prides itself on being diverse, progressive, liberal, and “better than the south.“ in my public education, and private college education, never once did I hear about Juneteenth. I grew up with racist parents, and I was kept from knowing a lot of black history and a lot of black culture despite having black friends and even family members. I wanted to take today to learn, and this is very informative.
Peace and blessings the worst form of slavery is associated gods with the (CREATOR) of creation and making (THE CREATOR) of creation and image the creat racism let us talk sometime im Raqib
Amazing so many companies, universities, state and local governments are now starting to recognize Juneteenth as a holiday. A continuing refrain, as she said, of a fight for civil rights. Hopefully one day the fighting can be won, and we can truly be one America, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Its not Even a number
THANK YOU
I would love to have this woman speak at our Juneteenth Event! Will you come to Lynn,Ma. for our 2019 celebration?
I reside in Lynn, Ma where do they have this calibration?
🙏
If she comes can she stay forever, one big fairy tale hahahaha.
I really do enjoy the history of Juneteenth and african american history. The 150th anniversary .50th anniversary of the march on. Washington. D. C. I love the freedom we have now and its a federal holiday. Rhonda. Prater... May. God bless you and keep u.
Thank You, History Chirping Lady Bug.
I enjoyed your Presentation, especially since my interest in my own Black History, has been reignited.
I Thank God, for Everything that Disrupted the Slave Economy.
Integration was the Worst thing that happened to independent, Black communities.
In Venice, California, where low-income Black Americans owned homes ON THE BEACH, during the 70's and 80's, Gentrification, has pushed those Homeowners of Color OUT!
Now, their homes have been economically Red-Lined, and cost $1,000,000's of dollars. Trickeration has replaced the melanin that resided in that neighborhood.
Happy Juneteenth
About time but we got a long way to go.They need to teach black history to all the school. They need to know about our history.Amen I am glad that president Biden made national holiday Mrs Scott that was a beautiful talking 🥰😇😘💝💘💯🙏
Love this information
🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏻❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎 Love will always win.
The Texas state fair was segregated in the 1970s. I thought that segregation was ended in the early 1960s.
Happy Juneteenth!!
Now an OFFICIAL Federal holiday! ♥️💛🖤💚
WHERE CAN I FIND THE SONGS OF THE EMANCIPATION AND JUNETEENTH?

i hope this is a troll
30 yrs in US and only heard about Juneteenth in 2019.
Blessings and Happy Juneteenth Weekend!
This 156 year old celebration is the 1st Juneteeth to be recognized as a federal holiday!!
1. Lincoln's 1863 Emancipation Proclamation, freed ONLY the slaves in these rebellion states of the Confederacy:
▶Mississippi, ▶Alabama, ▶North Carolina, ▶South Carolina, ▶Florida, ▶Georgia and ▶Texas
However most enslaved Blacks did not gain their freedom in those rebellion/southern states and the Emancipation Proclamation was largely ignored and generally only enforced when Union forces overtook those Confederate areas.
2. June 19, 1865 --- Union forces arrive in Galveston, Texas. Blacks are liberated by the Emancipation Proclamation and Juneteenth is established.
Juneteenth is the longest most continuous celebration of our liberation. The celebration has come to commemorate the end of slavery but it is not the end of all slavery in Texas or the U.S.
3. The 13th Amendment, abolished U.S. slavery 155 years ago in Dec. 1865. The last slaves in the U.S. were liberated a full six months after Texas' 1865 Juneteenth.
The 13th Amendment legally abolished U.S. slavery freeing Blacks in: ▶New Jersey and the border states of ▶Kentucky and ▶Delaware (where the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation did not apply) also in the
⏩Confederate states of: ▶Mississippi ▶Alabama ▶North Carolina ▶South Carolina ▶Florida ▶Georgia and (other parts of) ▶Texas
Texas did not even ratify the amendment in 1865 when it became the law of the land. Texas did not ratify for a full five years later in 1870.
⏩ Additionally, Black slaves held in ▶Indian Territory were not even liberated for months after Dec. 1865.

That makes no sense, that isn't even a number.
We have black lawyers, law makers, judges, college professors so why are there so many black men in prison?
They don't want to repent and get out of sin. Acts 2:38. They follow false speakers, preachers and prophets Jeremiah 23.
Man, wtf are you talking about?!?
@@blakadvoyo9219 we always had black leaders, lawyers, law makers, college professors, mayors, police chiefs since 1700s before he Declaration of Independence. Look up the history of NYC, established by free black people who became victims of black gangs. Its battle against corruption, immoral people have no morals.

Well it’s Juneteenth. Time for school. Hope everyone in 2020 is doing well
Happy juneteenth, !
Repent in Jesus name. The human smuggling depleted our resources back then the same as today. They are still criminal outlaws.
People romanticize gang bangers, pirates and smugglers protecting them same as today.
Stop following false prophets Isaiah 30:1-4
The movie Ural Brenner play n last night ?what was it name
I grew up in Texas and Juneteenth was always celebrated by Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas. Of course it took a while for news to spread from Galveston, Texas to other states. Tha real question is when did tha rest of black America start to recognize this day?? I know they knew nothing about it in Alabama until tha 1990's.
Dr. Shennette Garrett-Scott, God Bless you and thank you for your hard work and contagious energy about the history of Juneteenth. Have you considered publishing a textbook to be required reading in our public school systems?
. . . THE HISTORY OF JUNETEENTH ( CURRENT/DATE: MON 24 JUNE 2019 ) THE HISTORY OF US - THE AFRICAN AMERICANS IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN . . .
Very Happy Juneteenth 2021❤🖤💚

Happy June Teenth, HOW WE GONE DO THIS YALL, HOW WE GONE CELEBRATE???
Number one way stop killing each other
Stop judging people by appearances Matthew 7:1-3.
Stop obsessing over skin color.
Stop making gang bangers your heroes.
We celebrate the 400 years ending in 2019.
at this point we need to talk about "adversaries " and their tactics in this day and time and how to UNIFY and combat them. This is what i think our ancestors would want more than any day off or celebration. # mytwoblackcents
