Before I moved to Texas and had lived there for several years, I knew almost nothing about Juneteenth. I am sad and embarrassed to admit this; and also must acknowledge that not much was said or taught in wider – or white – culture until recent years. Power does not often surrender itself without insistence.
Some of our hymns and instrumental voluntaries this coming Sunday were chosen In recognition of Juneteenth on Monday, June 19. We commemorate the emancipation of enslaved African Americans by singing traditional Spirituals like “Glory, glory, hallelujah!” and hearing the music of the great turn of the century African-American ragtime composer and pianist Scott Joplin (seen above).
