Happy Juneteenth

/ Psal121 / Leave a comment

Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Deriving its name from combining “June” and “nineteenth”, it is celebrated on the anniversary of the order, issued by Major General Gordon Granger on June 19, 1865, proclaiming freedom for slaves in Texas. Originating in Galveston, Juneteenth has since been observed annually in various parts of the United States, often broadly celebrating African-American culture. The day was first recognized as a federal holiday in 2021, when President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law after the efforts of Lula Briggs Galloway, Opal Lee, and others.

Africans enslaved in the Americas have been resilient for hundreds of years. One of the ways is that they would pass on encouragement. They would encourage each other to do better. If you want to find freedom, follow the drinking gourd. During Juneteenth, celebrate that we know how to fight. We know how to win.

An African American woman moved home to take care of her dying mother giving up the opportunity to experience a world beyond segregation. Zoraida Hughes Williams finds that some things have changed about her hometown of Fort Worth, Texas while some have stayed the same, like Hell’s Half Acre, an area where saloons, prostitution and gambling runs wild. Like most of the residents, she wants to keep her head down and stay away from trouble, but it comes in the unlikely form of an Anglo Baptist preacher. He messes up everything and almost gets them killed.

A World Divided, A Heart Divided.

What would you give up for family? For Zoraida Hughes Williams, the answer was everything. She traded the dream of a life beyond segregation for the familiar, dusty streets of Fort Worth, Texas, to care for her dying mother.

But the hometown she returned to is a powder charge. Between the heavy hand of Jim Crow and the lawless chaos of Hell’s Half Acre, Zoraida just wants to survive. She didn’t count on an Anglo Baptist preacher turning her world upside down.

Now, she’s not just fighting for her future—she’s fighting for her life. Dive into a gripping tale of faith, danger, and the difficult choices we make when our destiny is on the line.
