Olean Juneteenth Celebration
An interesting fact about the July 4th Independence Day celebration, which may be difficult to imagine now, is that enslaved black people were not granted that same freedom until June 19, 1865, after the end of the Civil War. It didn’t happen for them for another 89 years, readers. A lifetime! Can you put yourself in their shoes? Most Americans were free of tyranny; they were not. True, the Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Lincoln on January 1, 1863, but that still did not apply to those enslaved people in the Confederate States. Fact from Statista.com: There were almost 700,000 slaves in the U.S. in 1790, which equated to approximately 18 percent of the total population, or roughly one in every six people.

One last treasure hunt?
It’s funny how an offhand comment can prove to be a motivating factor. I recently gave my sister a desk that was originally hers — 50 years ago. It used to sit in her bedroom. I don’t know how I ended up with it, but it’s made more than 20 moves around the country with me.
