What may be America’s first Juneteenth took place in New Orleans in the summer of 1864. Ten formerly enslaved men published a history of the events as a gift meant to inspire Abraham Lincoln. @susannahjural and @annmdaly1 examine what the document reveals. theatln.tc/oJ7eMgWv
We linked a digital copy of _Emancipation Celebration_ in this article. On this #Juneteenth, read what Francois Boisdoré, Stephen Rogers, & other Black leaders shared in NOLA & w/ Lincoln in 1864 - what it meant for them then; what they expected in the future. #williamscollection

_Emancipation Celebration_, which features rare accounts of Juneteenth celebrations in 1864 New Orleans told from an entirely Black perspective, inspired this article by Ann Marsh Daly & me. Thanks @jimdowns1 for encouraging us to publish this!

Even though my book is out of my hands (currently printing @OUPHistory!), I can't resist trying to trace people caught in the wartime slave trade. For example: Jane Lyles, captured at Thaddeus Steven's ironworks Confederates in Chambersburg, PA during the Gettysburg Campaign.
Reminder: tune in tomorrow, Tues Feb 6 at 12pm CST. Hope to see you there!
