Mye Owens Juneteenth

Article by Mye Owens;

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

On June 19, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, to read the Emancipation Proclamation letting slaves know they were finally free. This reading came two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the order in 1863.

The celebration began as jubilation spread throughout the slave quarters. Every year since then, communities have joined together to celebrate what is known as Juneteenth, a celebration of freedom realized.

In Syracuse, the celebration will kick off Friday, June 15, and continue to Saturday, June 16, at Clinton Square in Downtown Syracuse.

Every year, the Juneteenth Festival aims to acknowledge the role of Syracuse and Central New York during this time. The free celebration in Clinton Square will include a live performance by R&B singer Chante Moore, an educational area, food, and exhibits.

In 1827, New York State abolished slavery, bringing many freedom seekers from southern states to the North. By 1850, 670 African Americans lived in Onondaga County including Syracuse, Onondaga, and Elbridge.

Syracuse newspapers openly advertised support for the Underground Railroad. During the Civil War, both European Americans and African Americans from Central New York fought in the war. Those seeking freedom continued to come from the South during the war to settle in Central New York.

Article by Mye Owens;

As immigration continues to be a hot political topic, Syracuse resident recently came together to demand changes to the nation’s policies.

Residents, politicians, and children gathered outside of U.S. Representative John Katko’s office Thursday with toys in hand. Several residents spoke on how they feel about President Trump’s immigration policies, including Democratic Congressional candidate Dana Balter and Syracuse Common Councilor Joe Driscoll.

Residents brought the toys to represent children. With the focus of the rally being on the separation of children from their families, protesters brought the toys to give Rep. Katko a real representation of what is left behind from President Trump’s immigration order.

While residents gathered together with toys, some thought of their own children. Emily Brown says it’s the main reason that motivated her to come to her first rally.

“I woke up in the night, I went in my daughter’s room and I thought about how it would feel if my child was taken from me and I was overwhelmed with emotion and there are differences on immigration policy but having camps for kids is so far beyond where our country should be,” she said.

Children were at the center of the issue Thursday. Residents like Miss Ross said she wants change directly from Rep. Katko. She says she simply wants the families reunited.

Ross says battling Katko is nothing new to her.
