WHAT IS JUNETEENTH?
Juneteenth or June 19, 1865, is considered the date when the last slaves in America were freed. Although the rumors of freedom were widespread prior to this, actual emancipation did not come until General Gordon Granger rode into Galveston, Texas and issued General Order No. 3, on June 19, almost two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.

BUT DIDN'T THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION FREE THE ENSLAVED?
President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on September 22, 1862, notifying the states in rebellion against the Union that if they did not cease their rebellion and return to the Union by January 1, 1863, he would declare their slaves forever free. Neeedless to say, the proclamation was ignored by those states that seceded from the Union. Futhermore, the proclamation did not apply to those slave-holding states that did not rebel against the Union. As a result about 8000,000 slaves were unaffected by the provisions of the proclamation. It would take a civil war to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to formally outlaw slavery in the United States.

WHEN IS JUNETEENTH CELEBRATED?
Annually, on June 19, in more than 200 cities in the United States. Texas (and Oklahoma) is the only state that has made Juneteenth a legal holiday. Some cities sponsor week-long celebrations, culminating on June 19, while others hold shorter celebrations.

WHY IS JUNETEENTH CELEBRATED?
It symbolizes the end of slavery. Juneteenth has come to symbolize for many African-Americans what the fourth of July symbolizes for all Americans -- freedom. It serves as a historical milestone reminding Amricans of the triumph of the human spirit over the cruelty of slavery. It honors those African-Americans ancestors who survived the inhumane institution of bo***ge, as well as demonstrating pride in the marvelous legacy of resistance and perserverance they left us.

WHAT DOES THE JUNETEENTH FLAG REPRESENT?
The Juneteenth flags represent the history, and freedom the American Slaves and their descendants. The design of the Juneteenth flag depicts a bursting "new star", on the horizon. The star represents A NEW FREEDOM, A NEW PEOPLE, A NEW STAR. The red, white, and blue colors communicate that the American Slaves, and their descendants were all Americans.

in 1865, General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, TX, to read Order No. 3, which affirmed the end of slavery in the states of the former Confederacy. This momentous occasion has been celebrated as — a combination of "June" and "19th" — for over 150 years.

Though President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, issued on January 1st, 1863, freed all enslaved people in the Confederacy, its announcement and enforcement relied upon the presence of Union troops, including members of the United States Colored Troops. Although some were aware of the implementation of the Emancipation Proclamation, it wasn't enforced by the Union Army in Galveston, TX, until June 19th, 1865.

Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of ending slavery in the United States. Today, annual Juneteenth celebrations include family reunions, religious sermons, barbecues, and much more. Two years ago, President Joe Biden opened the signing of Juneteenth into law as a federal holiday with these words: "Juneteenth marks both the long, hard night of slavery and subjugation, and a promise of a brighter morning to come."

On Wednesday, June 12, 2024, the Dayton VA Women’s Clinic in Dayton, Ohio, was renamed the Lieutenant Colonel Charity Adams-Earley Women’s Clinic” in honor World War II veteran, Charity Adams-Earley. The event was attended by veterans, medical professionals, community members, and Adams-Earley’s children.

In July 1942, Adams was accepted into the Women’s Auxiliary Army Corps and became the first African American woman commissioned as an officer. In 1944, she was promoted to Major and was chosen to command the newly formed all-Black 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion. In February 1945, the 6888th arrived in Birmingham, England, assigned to sort, organize, and direct mail to U.S. servicemen. They sorted about 195,000 pieces of mail per day, over three 8-hour shifts seven days a week. Under Adams’ leadership the 6888th cleared the two-year backlog of mail in three months.

After the war, Adams was honorably discharged from the Army and continued her studies. In 1946, she worked for the Veterans Administration in Cleveland, Ohio, where she reviewed veterans’ applications for educational funding under the G.I. Bill. On August 24, 1949, Adams married Stanley A. Earley Jr. and in 1952, the couple moved to Dayton, Ohio.

Once in Dayton, Adams-Earley became involved in the community. She served on the boards of Dayton Power and Light, the Dayton Metro Housing Authority, the Dayton Opera Company, American Red Cross, and the board of trustees of Sinclair Community College. She volunteered for the United Way, the United Negro College Fund, the Urban League, and the YWCA. She was the founder of the Black Leadership Development Program in 1982.

Charity Adams-Earley died on January 13, 2002, in Dayton. She was buried in Woodland Cemetery and Arboretum, Section 308, Lot 326, Grave B.
