Piscataway Celebrates Juneteenth, Emphasizing Freedom, History, and Community Action
The Juneteenth celebration in Piscataway, sponsored by the Piscataway Civil Rights Commission, emphasized the significance of freedom and its importance for all Americans, not just African Americans. Councilwoman Sharon Carmichael highlighted Juneteenth as a celebration of freedom and a recognition of the resilience and progress of the African American people, while acknowledging that there is still work to be done. The event also stressed the importance of this history being taught to young students, as it is often overlooked. The guest speaker, Dr. Alex Gray, reinforced this, noting that many adults, including himself, did not learn about Juneteenth until adulthood. The significance of the delayed communication of freedom to enslaved people in Texas after the Emancipation Proclamation was also discussed. The ceremony included a Juneteenth flag raising, with a challenge to the community to not only raise the flag but also to raise a hand to help others, raise voices for the silenced, and raise the standard of how people treat one another.
