Members of the Carroll County chapter of the NAACP joined tens of thousands Saturday at the National Mall - at the Reflecting Pool and the Lincoln Memorial - in Washington to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the August 28, 1963 March on Washington.

It was at that time in the early 1960s that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. (January 15, 1929-April 4, 1968) made "I have a dream" the clarion-call of the civil rights movement at a political rally called the “March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.”

History continues to reflect upon the importance of the march on Washington in 1963. One thing remains certain, it was a pivotal moment in American history that has contributed greatly to who we are as a nation today.

June 19 is recognized by 38 states as a state holiday marking Juneteenth Independence Day--or Emancipation Day.  Juneteenth is not a state holiday in Maryland.

The origin of the holiday dates back to the end of the Civil War and celebrates freedom being granted to more than 250,000 slaves.

It began when Union General Gordon Granger arrived with 2,000 federal troops in Galveston, Texas, on June 18, 1865. This was more than two months after the surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Lee to Union Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House on the afternoon of April 9, 1865.

One of the foremost matters on the mind of Granger was to take possession of the rebel state of Texas and enforce the Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Abraham Lincoln on September 22, 1862.

The proclamation carried an effective date of January 1, 1863; although in reality, in Texas and most of the states in rebellion, it had little impact on the enslaved population of the south--and freed few, if any, slaves.

Granger was determined to change that, at least in Texas.  On June 19, 1865 he stood upon the balcony of the Ashton Villa and read the contents of “General Order No. 3,” which put into effect the Emancipation Proclamation throughout the state.

The result was a spontaneous community celebration that has been observed every year ever since.

In 1840, almost 30 years before the first Juneteenth celebration, the population of Carroll County was 17,421. ...  http://eldersburg.patch.com/articles/juneteenth-independence-day-and-slaverys-history-in-carroll-county#c

The ghost of Thomas Jefferson just collapsed and died

The College of William and Mary in Williamsburg has crowned a stunning blond to be this year’s homecoming queen. However, the ghost of Thomas Jefferson may very well have stroked-out and died upon learning the news that this year’s homecoming queen has, well, ah, - a small silver lip ring.

The story, carried by the Daily Press, is introduced with: “WILLIAMSBURG - History was made without fanfare on Saturday.

“Jessee Vasold, William and Mary's first … homecoming queen (with a small silver lip ring,) took the field at halftime of the Tribe's game against James Madison wearing a red shirt, black pants and a small silver lip ring to applause and not much other notice.

Vasold, a junior, and the other members of the homecoming court were introduced to the crowd, posed for pictures, and walked off the field.

“I knew I was nominated, but I was just surprised, because there were a lot of other really good candidates on the ballot," Vasold said. "I know all of the other girls, and they're wonderful people, really friendly. So I was surprised.”

[…]

William and Mary president Taylor Reveley had no problem with Vasold's selection, made in nominations and voting by students.

“‘I knew Jessee before,’ he said. ‘(It's) a little more publicity than normal for a homecoming queen, but it's just fine.’”

Now normally I do not carry stories about homecoming queens here, but I do like to follow developments at my niece’s alma mater and I thought you might be interested also…
