Paperback. Zustand: Good. On this island called Galveston, Texas, African-Americans have a unique position in the history of the world. Natives of this city, and incoming residents, who were people of color, were the pioneers of much of the civilization that occurred in this part of the world. Juneteenth has become a term used by persons all over the nation who recognize the validity of the term now synonymous with freedom of the former black-skinned slaves. This term comes from the fact that, in Galveston, Texas, General Granger arrived by ship with orders that were read to the public at Ashton Villa on June 19, 1865. He actually arrived in the harbor on June 17, 1865, and the news leaked out from the deckhands on that date. But the dates are both worthy of the title Juneteenth, which is the way the former slaves passed down the news to their progeny. This news came from the official document called the Emancipation Proclamation, which was a law signed by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, and sent to the southern states involved in the Confederacy. So Texas was the first of these states to receive this law, and Galveston was the entry port, and therefore had the distinction of being the first place to embrace the freedom of persons of color in the southern part of the new United States of America. There were free men and women of color in Galveston before this announcement was made, so the progress of the city toward racial harmony was already underway. Pioneers of all kinds of institutions and businesses came from Galveston. It is no accident that Galveston has been a city of firsts. The titles of first have been proven for the state of Texas, because these were recorded and documented in many journals and publications. Some visionaries of African descent have been recorded by name, but since the freed persons of color usually could not read or write (they were forbidden to learn to read or write in slavery), there is little written from their perspective. It is the purpose of this book to reveal what was written by a man of color, my grandfather, who came to Galveston with his family as a small child, immediately after freedom was declared. His words are proven to be true by later documentation of official sources in the city. In addition, recorded words of interviews with numbers of citizens who were alive when this book was begun have been used and preserved on audio tapes. Until now, this story, told from the perspective of the persons who lived it, has been untold. Because of its far reaching effects in the whole world, this story fairly screams to be acknowledged and revealed. It is with great excitement that I bid you to indulge yourself in the luxury of discovery. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Island of Color: Where Juneteenth Started is a compelling firsthand chronicle of Galveston's African American legacy-told through the voice of Izola Ethel Fedford Collins, a fifth-generation native whose family helped shape the cultural and civic foundation of Texas. Through intimate memoir and documented history, Collins uncovers the untold story of the people who lived, led, and lifted a community in the shadow of slavery and the dawn of freedom. On the island of Galveston, Texas, the news of the Emancipation Proclamation arrived in June 1865-first whispered by deckhands and later declared publicly by General Granger at Ashton Villa. That moment, now known as Juneteenth, became a defining symbol of liberty for millions. But this story began long before the official order was read. Galveston was already home to free people of color, and its African American residents were pioneers in education, medicine, business, and faith. Collins preserves the legacy of her grandfather-a freedman who came to Galveston as a child-and combines his handwritten accounts with community interviews and rich personal memory. The result is a powerful, living document that restores color to faded historical records and honors the voices too long left out of the official narrative. Whether you're an educator, historian, student, or reader of memoirs, Island of Color invites you to rediscover the roots of Juneteenth and the vital contributions of Black Texans in one of America's most historic port cities. …
