Happy Juneteenth!   Today, we celebrate the official end of slavery in the United States.   Though the Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863, slavery continued in Texas until 1865, when federal troops arrived in Galveston to read General Orders No. 3: "The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free."   The following year freedmen organized the first "Jubilee Day," which would become an annual celebration on June 19 and spread across the U.S. In 2021, President Biden signed the Juneteenth Independence Day Act, officially recognizing June 19 as a federal holiday.

This week the Social Action Office of the Diocese of Cleveland, along with 43 pilgrims, embarked on a week-long Pilgrimage for Justice. The pilgrimage was a faith-based, intercultural, intergenerational immersion experience for pilgrims to travel, learn, reflect, pray, and grow through rediscovering the history of the Civil Rights Movement.   The journey began June 9 with travelers visiting the Ohio River, which had been the border between the free North and enslaved South, and the Underground Railroad Museum in Cincinnati, OH.   From there, the pilgrims voyaged to the birthplace of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and visited the MLK National Park in Atlanta, Georgia. Immersing themselves in history allowed them to come together, learn from the past, and create hope for the future. Stayed tuned for more updates on the pilgrimage!
