Transcripts For CNNW Juneteenth 20240705

Celebration for freedom. Now, a national holiday, juneteenth is the direct result of centuries of resistance and revolution by black people leading a fight for their liberation. In 1861, tension between the north and the south reached its Breaking Point over slavery and statehood, and The Civil War began. On january 1, 1863, as the nation approached its third year of The Civil War, president Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, declaring that all people held as slaves within the confederate controlled states were now free. The proclamation also granted black men access into a struggling union army. By the end of the war, more than 200,000 black soldiers, known as the United States colored troops, had enlisted, becoming instrumental to the unions victory. The civil war officially ended in april of 1865, but it wasnt until june 19th of that year, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, that thousands of colored troops arrived in galveston texas, to read general order number three, informing the last enslaved black people that they were now free. That day would become the true marker of freedom in america. In 2021, juneteenth, also called emancipation day, freedom day, jubilee day, and black independence day, became an official federal holiday, sparking a global celebration. On this day, we honor the resilience, ingenuity, and determination it took for black people to take hold of the very essence of what it means to be an american, freedom.

Juneteenth is an american story, where the last remaining slaves of the confederacy were officially set free two years after emancipation. After that day, many newly freed men and women travelled through what is recognized at the emancipation trail, a route that led them directly from galveston to the heart of a newly developing city in texas called houston. Jack yates, A Formerly Enslaved Black Man settled in houston. Yates started the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church to be a safe place for black folks to learn, gather, and build. Reverend yates was a community leader, a visionary, and he helped to ensure that the houston area had a Viable Community of black citizens that had their own businesses, had their own homes, and their own institutions. This area was houstons black wall street. You had blacksmiths. You had folks that ran printing shops. You saw blacks elected to public office. So, this is this drive thats coming out of slavery and beating the challenges that were set before them. As Freedmen Town and other surrounding black neighborhoods began to take shape, yates began to set his sights on land, Emancipation Park, serving as a hub for all freed black people to congregate, organize, and celebrate juneteenth for more than 150 years. It was bought by the formerly enslaved people. No one gave it to them. They had the imagination, they had the vision, and they had the willingness to do what it took to own the land. Emancipation park is actually the first park that was bought and owned by citizens In The City Of Houston. There was no other park, period, In The City Of Houston in 1872, for anybody. They wanted to be able to come together as a community, a broader community, and purchasing the park gave them that opportunity. They would dress up. They would get on their horses and their buggies, celebrating their freedom. They were very proud of being freed. Today, Emancipation Park remains a historical site In The City Of Houston. And as new generations embrace its history, build new memories, and celebrate juneteenth, its existence serves as a reminder of what is truly possible with freedom. We owe it to not only ourselves but our children, our grandchildren, our great grandchildren, and to everybody around us to help them understand how important freedom is.

So, when i served in the United States senate, i was proud to cosponsor a bill to make juneteenth a federal holiday. And as Vice President , it was my honor to stand beside our president , joe biden, as he signed the legislation that finally made that dream a reality. Today americans from all walks of life come together to celebrate juneteenth, to honor black excellence, culture, and community, to remember our nations full history, and to celebrate one of our founding principles, the principle of freedom. America is a promise, a promise of freedom, liberty, and justice. The story of juneteenth, as we celebrate it, is the story of our ongoing fight to realize americas promise, not for some, but for all. So, as we gather tonight, let us remember the words of the great Coretta Scott king, the fight for civil rights must be fought and won with each generation. She reminds us that our freedoms will not be permanent unless we, in each generation, are vigilant to protect them. So, let us all stand together as americans to teach and honor our history, to protect our liberty, and to continue the fight for freedom.

Narrator californias Community Schools reimagining public education. This area it was very difficult to find fresh produce, fresh ingredients. This felt like the right place to be. Omars mom was living a couple of blocks away from here at the time. It hit Close To Home that she had to go pretty far to find produce to live. That was pretty obvious to us that we were needed in more stores and more places like us are needed. Thousands of cities in the u. S. Face the same access challenges as west philly. In north tulsa, oklahoma, just a mile from Historical Black wall street, a. J. Johnson, born and raised in the city, responded to the need by opening oasis fresh market, tulsas first blackowned Grocery Store in 50 years. There are 10 generals, but this is the first healthy Grocery Store in north tulsa. We did studies before we understood what our community needed. We found folks were leaving their community to go and find healthy food. If we were to overlay a u. S. Map and highlight food deserts, the majority of the food deserts that exist in america, anywhere from 70 to 80 of that are black and brown communities. And then if you were on top of that, to lay a map of the Life Expectancy for these communities, you would see that underserved communities not just in tulsa alone but across the country are dying because of that very shortage or lack of access. We may be free as a people, but if were tied to an unhealthy diet or an unhealthy food system, are we truly free . The legacy of disparity in america has created a problem that requires both Policy Change and United Community work to solve. I think theres a bit of a revolution happening, where these communities, these neighborhoods, us, we are underneath creating or demanding fresh access to food. We want to meet the needs of our community where they are. Thats the hope or oasis. Thats the hope for north tulsa and baltimore and memphis and atlanta and chicago and l. A.

Across the world, there are communities of African Descent that make up the global diaspora, with one of the highest concentrations being in the United States. Through curated experiences such as the Afro Future Festival in ghana, a space is being created for black folks to return to the continent for what feels like a multicentury Family Reunion. Black people have different experiences across the world but similar experiences. Youre not alone in the world. Afrofuture festival for us was an opportunity to bring together the black diaspora. They feel seen as soon as they touch down on the ground. The art, culture, and music of the motherland is creating an energy that is recentering africas presence in the world. Now a multibillion dollar industry, Afro Beats Music is playing a key role in the global spotlight being put on the continent. We wanted our music to become world music. And now youre hearing new sounds that are changing your perspective. So, its pretty exciting. And i think there is a connection between the diaspora connecting and the music taking off. Our powers, as a global diaspora, is within each other. And the more we get to know each other is the more that were able to really hone that power.
