Return to Afro-Americans throughout the Americas / Black History - Master Project
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
USA Black Heritage Portal
USA Black Heritage Including the colonies prior to the Revolutionary war through 1863
Anything after 1865 should be listed and presented under the USA Portal.
Juneteenth (short for “June Nineteenth”) marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed. The troops’ arrival came a full two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth honors the end to slavery in the United States and is considered the longest-running African American holiday. On June 17, 2021, it officially became a federal holiday. Juneteenth 2023 will occur on Monday, June 19.
My thought's planning and tasking info will be deleted once this project nears completion
It is also planed that this project will become an index for ALL other related projects on Geni.
In 2016 I started this project on WikiTree, and recently it has evolved into this
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:US_Black_Heritage
Hoping to do a similar effort here on Geni.
