Dr. Robert Greene, assistant professor of history at Claflin University in South Carolina & president of the African American Intellectual History Society (AAIHS) , discusses his writing on Juneteenth.
Dr. Robert Greene then joins, diving right into the roots of Juneteenth in the arrival of federal troops to Galveston, Texas to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation, celebrating both the ultimate freeing of the slaves to the end of the slavers empire writ large. Expanding on this, Dr. Greene unpacks the promise that was held in the freeing of the slaves and the start of the Reconstruction era – one of true freedom and equality – and the necessary role that the failure (and hope) of this era plays in the story of Juneteenth. Moving into the 20th Century, Dr. Green reflects on the relationship between Juneteenth’s celebration of emancipation, and the original holiday of Emancipation Day, emphasizing the importance of a stand-alone fixed-date holiday to mark the United States’ second revolution, as we have with July 4th, also touching on the major players in African American History that made the official establishment of Juneteenth as a Federal Holiday, before wrapping up by tackling the need to think carefully and holistically about this moment in American history when celebrating Juneteenth.
