SHELLY KEHRLE-SULSER

Executive Editor

The United States was built on

the backs of enslaved people who,

despite being Americans, were not

treated as fully human.

It wasn’t until 1863 that

enslaved people were freed by the

Emancipation Proclamation but in

one small Galveston community,

the word did not reach more than

250,000 African Americans until

2,000 Union Troops arrived on June

Juneteenth, America’s second independence day, to be celebrated June 14-15

Members of the Battle Creek Branch of NAACP Juneteenth Committee are,

Shirley Tuggle, L.E. Johnson, Deboraha and Victor Sallee and Sam Gray.

Nearly 2,000 people attended

Juneteenth Family Day last

year when there were around

70 vendors onsite. Nearly as

many are expected this year,

June 15 between 11 a.m. and

6 p.m. (Shopper News file photo

19, 1865 to announce that they had

been freed by executive decree.

“When you think about the pre-

amble of the Constitution,” said Sam

Gray of the Battle Creek Branch of

NAACP, “it says, ‘We the people’

and that did not include us. We were

this ‘inferior’ people. Women were

inferior. Native Americans were

‘inferior’ so it speaks to the persever-

ance, the resiliency, the innovation

of us striving to do the things that

we’ve done. So celebrating this holi-

day is very, very, very important.”

Gray was referring to Juneteenth,

officially Juneteenth Independence

Day, which is a federal holiday in

the United States commemorating

the ending of slavery.

Gray co-chairs the Battle Creek

Juneteenth Family Day committee

which is hosting the local celebra-

tion June 14 and 15.

Friday, June 14 events include

the presentation of a free, indoor

movie, “Wish” starting at 7 p.m.

Washington Heights United

Methodist Church located at 153 N.

Wood Street in Battle Creek.
