  • Emancipation Proclamation Day and Juneteenth
    Waiting for the hour [Emancipation] December 31, 1862. Carte de visite. Washington, 1863. EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION DAY AND JUNETEENTH CULTURAL RESOURCES Tuesday, January 1, 2008: Emancipation Proclamation Day Or Thursday, June 19, 2008: Juneteenth Bernice Johnson Reagon, Lectionary Team Cultural Resource Commentator William Wiggins, Jr., Lectionary Team Cultural Resource Commentator I. Historical Background and Documents The renewal of the individual's covenant with God through a service was established and emphasized by John Wesley in 1755. Wesley believed that Methodists, and all Christians, should reaffirm their covenant with God annually. Using words written by Richard Allen, Wesley published this service in a pamphlet in 1780, and this form was used without alteration for nearly a century in England. It has been modified somewhat in more recent EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION/JUNETEENTH - CULTURAL RESOURCES 1 years. The covenant hymn, "Come, Let Us Use the Grace Divine," was written for this service by Charles Wesley. The service is included in The Book of Worship under the title "An Order of Worship for Such as Would Enter into or Renew Their Covenant with God- -For Use in a Watch Night Service, on the First Sunday of the Year, or Other Occasion." This Covenant Service is often used in United Methodism as a Watch Night service on New Year's Eve. The Covenant Service is observed in some local churches on New Year's Day or on the first Sunday in January. The service focuses on the Christian's renewing the covenant of response to the grace of God in Christ. Within the African American tradition, Watch Night services evolved around the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation by Abraham Lincoln in 1862, when Black people gathered on December 31, 1862, to wait for the new day and the freedom that was promised for January 1863.

The loud drumming and singing, “wild” dancing, and “extravagant” costumes topped with horned ani- mal masks and towering headdresses overloaded the senses of these white onlookers, and suggested to them something inscrutably and dangerously African, even when certain European elements could be recognized within the unfamiliar mix. Unlike the pre-Lenten Catholic carnivals that were appropri- ated and refashioned by Africans in several parts of the Americas, this was a festival created by the enslaved themselves. Over time it was accepted by the ruling whites, who came to view it as a necessary evil – a kind of safety valve through which the simmering tensions on slave plantations could be periodi- 1.

What are their commonalities and what are their differences? What does it mean to be both “African” and “American”? These are complex questions and we will study the rich tradition of scholarly work that has addressed them. Once we establish the conceptual and theoretical foundation for our discussions, we spend the bulk of the course comparing and contrasting African diaspora communities in Haiti, the Bahamas, Louisiana, and the Georgia and South Carolina Sea Islands. In our study of the U.S. we will give special attention to the past and present of New Orleans, and its rich African diaspora history and traditions.. Hybrid Course Structure This course is taught with a combination of face to face and online sessions. Monday and Wednesday classes are conducted in class, face to face. All Friday sessions are online sessions. For Friday sessions you will be asked to participate in the course discussion forum on Blackboard or to complete a brief response to course readings or lectures.
