The Emancipation Proclamation and Juneteenth

Library News

IN THEIR OWN WORDS from the Juneteenth Proclamation

The following remarks were delivered by Major General Gordon Granger upon landing at Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865:

“The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property, between former masters and slaves and the connection heretofore existing between them, becomes that between employer and hired labor. The Freedmen are advised to remain at their present homes and work for wages. They are informed that they will not be allowed to collect at military posts; and they will not be supported in idleness either there or elsewhere.”

Jaynes, Gerald D., ed. 2005. “Juneteenth.” In Encyclopedia of African American Society, 1st ed. Sage Publications. Accessible via Credo Reference database. 
 
The National Archives Museum in Washington, DC, will display the original Emancipation Proclamation, along with General Order No. 3.

Temporary Service Interruption: Ministry Matters Database

Tim Grasso

On May 12th, the Ministry Matters database underwent an unannounced migration to a new website platform. Since this migration, there has been a disruption in our remote authentication to Ministry Matters content, as well as a reduction in content available on the new platform.

We are currently in contact with the vendor to update our authentication protocols for the new platform and to establish a definitive list of content that will be available going forward on their site.

We apologize for this service interruption and hope to hear back from the vendor with a resolution soon. Updates on Ministry Matters access will be announced as they become available.
