Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of bondage of slavery in the United States

Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of bondage of slavery in the United States.  Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19ththat the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free to acquire their actual freedom. Note that this was two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Program in which the enslaved was to make a Proclamation - which had become official January 1, 1863. The Emancipation Program had little impact on the free slaves due to the minimal number of Union troops to enforce the program and new Executive Order. However, with the surrender of General Lee in April of 1865, and the arrival of General Granger’s regiment, the forces were finally strong enough to influence and overcome the resistance. Later attempts to explain this two and a half year delay in the receipt of this important news have yielded several versions, in this new era of time, this makes the Eighth Version, that has been handed down from Allah the Father of the Universe. Thus told, the story of a Moorish messenger who was murdered on his way to Texas with the news of Actual Freedom in 1863. The Great conspiracy after Abraham Lincoln Assassination, is, the name s that delude to slavery shall be continued, and the news, of our Moorish descent, names and titles, is to be, deliberately withheld, by the various journalist and our men of letters. In order to maintain this new system, also a labor force, in each state and territory i.e. “still mills, warehouses, factories, shipping docs, rail roads, construction workers, roofers, etc., and another reason is that federal troops actually waited for the slave owners to reap the benefits of one last curse and spell… “COTTON  with the HARVEST” before going to Texas to enforce the Emancipation Program.  General Order Number 3 One of General Granger’s first orders of business was to read to the Moors in Texas, General Order Number 3 which began most significantly with: "The people of Texas are informed that in accordance with a Proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and free laborer."           The reactions to this profound news ranged from pure shock to immediate postliminy. Thus a great conspiracy by training the free slave to learn this new system of employer to employee relationship also to maintain the name that delude to slavery, many slaves left before these offers were completely off the lips of their former 'masters' - attesting to the program, conditions and the realization of actual freedom. Even with nowhere to go, many felt that leaving the plantation would be their first grasp of actual freedom. North was a logical destination and for many it represented actual freedom, while the desire to reach postliminy drove some into Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma. Settling into these new areas as so-called-free men and women brought on new realities and the challenges of establishing a non-existent status for black people in America. Recounting the memories of that great day in June of 1865 and its festivities would serve as motivation as well as a release from the new system and growing pressures encountered in the so-called Europeans new territory.  The celebration of June 19th was coined "Juneteenth" and grew with more participation from the Moorish descendants. The Juneteenth celebration was a time for Postliminy also reassuring each other, for praying also for gathering remaining family members to proclaim their Moorish Nationality, Moorish Descent Names also Titles, Baptism Ceremony, Naturalization Ceremony with the Oath of Amnesty and Reconstruction. Juneteenth continued to be highly revered in United States decades later, with many former Moorish slaves and descendants making an annual claim to postliminy on this date fulfilling the will of Prophet Abraham Lincoln. Juneteenth Moorish Festivities and Food Activities are provided to entertain the masses, many of which continue in tradition today. Conscious Tabliq (Rapp), Moorish Dance, barbecue and kickball are just a few of the typical Juneteenth activities you may witness today. Juneteenth always focused on Allah, our Moorish inheritance of postliminy; know thy self, Love, Truth, Peace, Freedom and Justice also state improvements. Thus, often guest speakers are brought in and the elders are called upon to recount the events of the Moorish past. Prayer services were also a major part of these celebrations. Certain foods became popular and subsequently synonymous with Juneteenth celebrations such as strawberry fez soda-pop. More traditional and just as popular is the barbecuing, through which Juneteenth participants could share in the spirit  of Islamism and the embracement of the Prophet Doctrine and aromas that our ancestors - the newly emancipated Moorish Americans, now have experienced during their ceremonies. Hence, the barbecue pit is often established as the center of attention at Juneteenth celebrations. Food should be abundant because it is the Prophet will and desire. Meats such as: lamb, chicken, beef, fish and salmon available every day and brought to this special occasion. This true federal recognized Juneteenth celebrations redeems all of Moorish Descent with actual freedom now made whole also well satisfied with enough conversation to last until the next Ceremony. Redress is also an important element, in this new era of time now, in our Moorish Juneteenth Liberation.  A/Res/61/295 is taken seriously, particularly by the direct Moorish descendants who can make the connection to ACT 6, this generation tradition's postliminy roots. During slavery there were laws on the books in many areas that prohibited or limited the redressing of the enslaved. During the initial days of the emancipation program, there are accounts of former slaves tossing their ragged garments into the creeks and rivers to adorn clothing taken from the plantations storage rooms belonging to their former 'masters' by the claim to postliminy. Juneteenth our Moorish Society In the early years, little interest existed outside the new African American community in participation in the program because they find Fun the celebrations. In some cases, there was outwardly exhibited resistance by barring the use of legacy for the Naturalization of Moors. Most of the festivities today find themselves in the metro areas for additional activities such as fishing, dance, barbecues. Often the temple grounds are the site for such activities. Eventually, as the so-called African Americans become allege land owners, land is to be donated and dedicated for these festivities uses. One of the earliest documented land purchases in the name of Juneteenth was organized by Rev. Jack Yates.  This fund-raising effort yielded $1000 and the purchase of Emancipation Park in Houston, Texas. In Mexia, the local Juneteenth organization purchased Booker T. Washington Park, which had become the Juneteenth celebration site in 1898.

  There are accounts of Juneteenth activities being interrupted and halted by Radical Settlor’s in America, so-called settlor landowners demanding that their subjects return to work. However, it seems, most allowed their workers, the Sunday off, also some even made donations of food with money. For decades these annual fun flourished, growing continuously with each passing year. 

Juneteenth Ceremony Decline

Today Economic and cultural forces provided for a decline in Moorish Juneteenth Ceremony and participants beginning in the year 1913. Classroom and text book education in lieu of traditional home and family-taught practices stifled the interest of the youth due to less emphasis on nationality and more detail on the activities for the mentally slaves and Euro American Customs. Classroom text books proclaimed the Prophet Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863 as the date signaling the end of the finite status “Negro” “Colored Folks” “Black People” “African American” “Afro American” the ending of slavery – pursuant to the Emancipation Proclamation (Program). The Depression forced many people off the farms and into the cities to find work. In these urban environments, Masters (employers) were less eager to grant leaves to celebrate this date. Thus, unless June 19^th fell on a weekend or holiday, there is very few participants available. July 4^th is the already established Independence holiday and a rise in European stock patriotism steered more toward this celebration. Abraham Lincoln sacrificed his life for Gods “will and desire” to be enforced upon every “Negro”, “Colored Folk”,” Black People”, “Afro-American”, and “African Americans”  in his honor to the will and trust of the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863.

Resurgence

Our Prophet Noble Drew Ali produced divine results for the Moorish Americans,  with Holy and Divine Instructions to proclaim our nationality and teach our divine creed and principles of Love, Truth, Peace, Freedom and Justice. The vices U.S. European Psychology pulled many of the so-called African American youth away from their postliminy and into the struggle of gangs and idea of being “black and proud”, a dishonor of our Moorish trust. This was evidenced by Rev. Ralph again in 1968, Juneteenth received another strong resurgence through Poor Peoples March to Washington D.C..  Rev. Ralph Abernathy’s call for people of all races, creeds, economic levels and professions to come to Washington to show support for the poor. Many of these attendees returned home and initiated Juneteenth celebrations in areas previously absent of such activity and forgot about postliminy. In fact, two of the largest Juneteenth celebrations founded after this March are now held in Milwaukee and Minneapolis.

Texas Blazes the Trail

On January 1, 1980, Juneteenth became an official state holiday through the efforts of Al Edwards, an African American state legislator for the renewal of the PROGRAM. The successful passage of this bill marked Juneteenth as the first emancipation celebration granted official state and judicial recognition.  Edwards has since actively sought to spread the observance of Juneteenth all across America.

Today, Juneteenth is enjoying a phenomenal growth rate within communities and organizations throughout the country. Institutions such as the Smithsonian, the Henry Ford Museum and others have begun sponsoring Juneteenth-centered activities.

 JUNETEENTH IN NEW A ERA OF TIME

 In the new era of time, The Moorish Science Temple of America, Subordinate Temple Mir No. 9 by good standing with the state of Colorado now a local charitable national Juneteenth Naturalization organization have taken our place in the affairs of man, So the lion and the lamb may lie down together and neither be harmed all with the mission to promote postliminy and cultivate knowledge and the appreciation of Moorish American history and culture.
Juneteenth today, celebrates African American freedom and achievement, while encouraging lower-self-development and disrespect for all cultures, by calming names and principles that delude to slavery. As it makes no mention to Moorish national, symbolic or even global perspective, the event of 1865 in Texas are continued to this day not forgotten by Euro American nor Christened Moors, for all of the roots tie back to a Moor Bringing the Good News of a Prophet known as Abraham Lincoln to only be killed upon this fertile soil from which a national day of Moorish pride is growing. The time of our Moorish Juneteenth, desires to be redressed…. as it is “the will of the state”, creating this Moorish American Juneteenth committee to uplift fallen humanity. Respect and appreciation of comity and all of our differences grow out of Love, Truth, Peace, Freedom and Justice. Getting involved and supporting Moorish American Juneteenth Postliminy Celebrations creates new bonds of Moorish Heir ship and inheritance, friendship and understanding among the descendants of the Moors. This indeed, brightens our future - and this is the will of the state, known as Juneteenth.
The Drum Ceremony is symbolic of the American Revolution. Moor come to battle! The drum is to be beating from sun set to sun rise, to re-enact the war in which our Moorish Forefather fought to acquire their Actual Freedom come and unite with us this year in the MOORISH AMERICAN JUNETEETH CEREMONIAL POSTLIMINY DAY we all must worship under our own vine and fig tree.
