History Happy Hour: Juneteenth🎉📜
Only recently established as a federal holiday, Juneteenth, has been celebrated for 158 years by African Americans whose personal stories and memories have been passed down from one generation to the next.
On January 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln delivered the Emancipation proclamation declaring the end of slavery in the United States, but this decree could not be fulfilled in states still under Confederate control. Freedom did not come to all until June 19, 1865, when Union troops arrived in Texas and announced that the more than 250,000 black people still enslaved there were free by executive decree.
Local historian Reynauld Smith, a proud Texan, presents the history of the holiday and what it means to his family and ancestors--some of whom were enslaved in Texas when word of the Emancipation Proclamation finally arrived.

For our next Transcribe-A-thon, we will be transcribing meeting minutes from some of the more unique and obscure clubs in our collection. Material will include minutes from groups like the Maryland Woman Suffrage Association, the Olney-Norbeck Citizens Protective Association, and the Dosey-Dos Square Dance Club.
Come join us and see how residents of Sandy Spring have engaged with their community for over 150 years!
