Juneteenth

Editor's note: Very few people are aware of the history behind Juneteenth. As people are discovering this 155-year-old holiday, Sojourners reached out to Dallas-based, African American artist, Calvin J. Walker to shed insight on how the holiday he grew up with might have influenced Black Texans. Walker wrote the following poem, performed in this video by Jasmine Shanise Gammon.

I woke up to the sounds of the djembe
I woke up to the warmth of the sun caressing my face as if it were an extension of God’s hand
I woke up free
And then ...
I didn’t sleep, yet my soul awoke in the dark rooms of the slave castle
My hands and feet shackled together
The woman next to me sobbing so that her tears created a river
She tried to jump into that river and let her sorrow carry her away to somewhere safe, alas the river was too shallow
I woke up next to her in the belly of the ship
She’d never stopped crying since I met her—never stopped filling that river
She’d cried a river to the city of Zion and she’d snuck away as we slept
I woke up to a sun thats warmth didn’t caress me
This sun seemed to scorch, to burn, to punish
I stood naked on an auction block while strange men shouted strange things with strange looks in their eyes
I woke up in a shack
The piercing sound of metal jolting me
Speaking for the strange men whose strange language I didn’t understand
I didn’t sleep, yet my soul awoke in the cotton fields
My fingers pricked and the cotton bulbs were dyed red
I didn’t sleep, yet my soul awoke the first time I saw a man’s flesh rip apart as a whip cracked against his skin
I woke up to the sound of horses—heavy footsteps crashing through my door
Men ripping my children from my arms
A hand slapping my face as I protested, knocking the scream out of my mouth and rendering me mute
I woke up to wars
Guns shooting
People dying
Rumors of freedom
Freedom never coming
And then ...
I woke up to the sounds of feet marching
Steps so loud they sounded like a band of horses
Death’s horses finally coming to take what was left of our souls
Death’s horses finally showing us mercy
But it was a different kind of death—the kind the leads to life
The kind that springs up three days later
The kind that testifies to divine power and divine justice
Death’s horses had come for the thing that had come for me
the day I woke to the sound of djembe
the day I woke without any thought of a strange new world or its evil practices
Death’s horses were thousands of Black men in army uniforms that had come
with sickle in their hand to reap the souls of the slavers
My soul awoke as Gen. Gregory read from General Order No. 3
The order said that we’d been free
We’d been free for years yet no one had bothered to tell us
Truthfully, we’d been free long before we were emancipated
We were created free
Born free
The ones who were truly enslaved
were the men whose minds allowed them to believe they were gods that could own people
I woke up to the sounds of marching not too long ago
I woke up to the sounds of chants
I woke up to the sounds of the voices of ancestors and descendants speaking with one voice
I woke up to the sounds of proclamations whose power has yet to fully emancipate a people that were always meant to be free

JUNETEENTH: ‘HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS’ 17JUN21

JUNETEENTH became a national holiday on Wednesday, 16 JUN 2021, a celebration of proclaiming the good news of emancipation to the still enslaved Blacks in Texas on 19 JUN 1865. This from Sojourners, be sure to click on the link for the moving and intense video of "Juneteenth", the poem by Calvin J Walker. God bless America......

JUNETEENTH: ‘HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS’

BY JAYNE MARIE SMITH

My father was a Marine before I was born and served as a reservist until I was around 5 years old. I loved the dress uniform decorating my father’s trim frame and his handsome dark skin and dark eyes peering from underneath his cap. What I did not like were the room inspections and summer workouts he subjected his daughters to, but that’s a story for another time. Though I’m the daughter of a Marine and great-great-granddaughter of once-enslaved people, I still get chills when I see photos of Black men in Union uniforms from the Civil War, the way I imagine my ancestors did in the 1860s.

“How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news,” the Apostle Paul quotes the prophet Isaiah after asking, “How can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent?” (Romans 10:14-15).

If you’ve been taught about Juneteenth at all, the common telling is that President Abraham Lincoln's 1863 Emancipation Proclamation pronounced freedom for all enslaved people in states that had seceded from the Union, but that Black Texans weren’t informed until June 19, 1865 — two and a half years later. The delay is sometimes blamed on distance and limited communication or the idea that enslavers weren't inclined to comply with the law. While these may have been contributing factors, these explanations obscure why the Black residents of Galveston, Texas, actually celebrated the first Juneteenth — and obscures how that celebration still speaks to us today.

VIDEO: Juneteenth Editor's note: Very few people are aware of the history behind Juneteenth. As people are discovering this 155-year-old holiday, Sojourners reached out to Dallas-based, African American artist, Calvin J. Walker to shed insight on how the holiday he grew up with might have influenced Black Texans. Walker wrote the following poem, performed in this video by Jasmine Shanise Gammon.

The reality is that Lincoln’s executive order was meaningless to the rebellious states unless and until the Union army arrived to enforce it. Likewise, while the 13th Amendment —passed by the Senate in 1864, the House in January 1865, and ratified by the states later that year — formally abolished slavery in the United States, most Texans didn't yet consider themselves a part of the U.S. (though the U.S. didn’t consider the secessions legal, Texas didn't regain full congressional representation and ratify the 13th Amendment until 1870). As such, in 1865, the Lone Star State did not recognize the authority of Lincoln or the U.S. Constitution.

Reflecting on this history, I’m haunted by recent declarations of “Not my president” and images of the Confederate flag in the corridors of the U.S. Capitol six months ago. American history books teach that the Civil War ended in April 1865 at the Appomattox Court House in Virginia, but that was just a military surrender by the outnumbered Gen. Robert E. Lee. Battles were still being waged, including in Texas. “Officers and men can return to their homes [with the] satisfaction that proceeds from a consciousness of duty faithfully performed,” Lee said to the Southern soldiers in his 1866 farewell speech.

Lee’s speech sounds eerily like former President Donald Trump's speech on Jan. 6, 2021: “This was a fraudulent election, but we can't play into the hands of these people. We have to have peace. So go home. We love you. You're very special,” Trump said to the Capitol insurrectionists.

The spiritual side of me thinks of the Apostle Paul’s description in Romans 7:19 of the ongoing battle inside of him between good and sin. Bodily, as an African American, I feel this battle waging outside of me, too; in the United States, this battle waged all around me, ever ongoing, invisible, but impactful. Both spiritually and in my Black American existence, I recognize that no one in rebellion adheres to authority without the presence of that authority.

For white and Black Texans in 1865, this authority was represented by as many as 10,000 Black men in Union uniforms, bearing guns and proud faces from their numerous major victories. Juneteenth observations rightfully focus on Union Gen. Gordon Granger reading Order No. 3, finally announcing the news of emancipation, as he was flanked by two transports full of soldiers marching to the Negro Church on Broadway (now known as Reedy Chapel AME Church). But it’s the divine order of events that added to the beauty of this day.

General Order No. 3

In May 1865, following the Union’s victory in Virginia, the entire XXV Corps — composed of free and formerly enslaved Black men — was shipped to Texas to secure the Mexican border from Napoleon's army and prevent resurgent Confederate activity. While en route, stormy seas — some might call “acts of God” — forced the transport ships to anchor in Galveston Bay on June 18, 1865 to gather supplies. The next day, Friday, June 19, when Granger arrived, the more than 1,000 enslaved people working in Galveston’s ports, houses, hotels, cotton fields, and barber and smithing shops would have witnessed thousands of Black men in blue uniforms as far as the eye could see as their liberators.

Granger read the words:

“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 ...”

It was the beautiful presence of authoritative Black bodies that made these words real. These Black soldiers, like Christ, gave flesh to the emancipating spoken words. They embodied the chorus of the Negro spiritual “Oh Freedom,” which rang: “And before I’d be a slave, I’ll be buried in my grave, and go home to my Lord, and be free.” Before them marched the cost of their freedom, the death of the sin that bound them, and the new life being offered to them. Their freedom didn’t just come from an order of a white man; freedom came enforced by faces that looked like them, a living picture of freedom that spoke 10,000 words.

As we acknowledge the day Black Texans heard they were free, we cannot neglect thanking the beautiful Black feet that were sent and stood with the good news.

What is Biden waiting for? SAVE NET NEUTRALITY! 19JUN21

 I am fortunate enough to live in an area where I have access to high speed internet. Amazingly my sister and brother in law, living about 50 miles from Washington, D.C. (in Midland, VA)  had to depend on dial-up until last year when a tower was installed so they now use wifi. And where I am from in rural NW PA many areas only have satellite internet service that is expensive and unreliable. We all need  to push Pres Biden to to nominate a progressive Democrat to be the fifth member of the  FCC, someone who will address the lack of basic internet service in too much of the country and who will reverse the policies of ajit pai and restore net neutrality. E mail Pres Biden  and tell him to make his nomination to the FCC now. This from Demand Progress.....

 ( Here is my e mail to the White House and I also donated $10 to Demand Progress' campaign. You need to nominate a Democrat, preferably a progressive Democrat, to be the fifth member of the FCC so ajit pai's regressive policies can be reversed and Net Neutrality restored. The FCC also needs to address the lack of high speed internet access in too much of the country.  I am fortunate enough to live in an area where I have access to high speed internet. Amazingly my sister and brother in law, living about 50 miles from Washington, D.C. (in Midland, VA)  had to depend on dial-up until last year when a tower was installed so they now use wifi. Too often they had to take their kids to the library to use the computers there because their home service was so slow and unreliable. And where I am from in rural NW PA many areas only have satellite internet service that is expensive and unreliable (cell phone service is also extremely limited too).)

It’s been more than 150 days, and President Joe Biden still hasn’t named a fifth member to the Federal Communications Commission. Each day that goes by without a fully-functioning FCC is a day that Ajit Pai's legacy of sabotaging a free and open internet lives on.¹

And it is leaving the commission deadlocked 2–2—unable to act on critical initiatives to bridge the digital divide and restore the net neutrality protections repealed by Trump-administration FCC Chair Pai.

Congress has to confirm the FCC appointee, and the legislative calendar days are dwindling. If Biden doesn’t act soon, the agency charged with ensuring a free, open internet and broadband access for everyone will remain stalemated.

Time is running out. Demand Progress is waging a full court press on Biden to get him to name a fifth person to the FCC—so the agency can do its job and restore net neutraity. Will you chip in?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Donate $10
Donate $20
Donate $40
Or, donate another amount

The pandemic laid bare the grave digital divide in our country. Poor families and people of color are disproportionately disconnected from high-speed internet access, threatening their health, their education, and their livelihoods.

The FCC has a long list of initiatives that can help ensure an open internet for everyone, no matter the size of their paycheck.²

It includes reviving the long-neglected Lifeline program, which helps ensure internet access for low-income customers.³

It includes guiding federal funds for building broadband infrastructure in an equitable, effective manner.

And it includes restoring net neutrality rules dismantled during the Trump administration.

But the commission can’t move any of these efforts forward effectively without a fifth member appointed by the president. And with a limited number of legislative calendar days left this year, we’re running out of time to get that member confirmed and the FCC operating at full capacity.

That’s why Demand Progress is waging a full-court press to get Biden to name his appointee. We've gathered together dozens of groups to urge the administration to act and flooded the president with petition signatures.

Unless Biden acts soon, the FCC could be deadlocked for the rest of the year, unable to restore net neutrality or ensure internet access for all. Will you chip in to get the president to name an appointee ASAP?

Thanks for standing with us.

Robert Cruickshank,
Demand Progress

El hombre ha pasado más de 40 días con un ventilador después de manipular especies de plantas invasoras y cicuta venenosa generalizada en Pensilvania, peligrosa para humanos y animales 14 y 17 de junio de 2021

El hombre ha pasado más de 40 días con un ventilador después de manipular especies de plantas invasoras

por CHRISTIAN HAUSER, personal de WKRC

Lunes 14 de junio de 2021

MADEIRA, Ohio ( WKRC ) - Muchos de nosotros escuchamos el dicho "hojas de tres, déjalo estar" para hablar sobre la hiedra venenosa, pero una especie invasora que puede ser mortal para los animales y los humanos que aparece en el Tri-State es algo que Necesito estar atento.

Se llama  cicuta venenosa  y el marido de Jeanne LeBlond ha estado en el hospital durante 41 días a causa de ella. No ha podido respirar por sí solo después de haber estado expuesto al trabajo en el jardín.

"Pensamos que estaba deshidratado. Entonces, bebió un montón de agua y vimos un programa en la televisión y luego nos fuimos a la cama", dijo LeBlond.

Alrededor de las 2 de la mañana, LeBlond dice que su esposo no podía respirar. Fueron al hospital y lo ingresaron pero siguió empeorando al día siguiente.

"En este momento, está en la UCI con un ventilador, con un tubo torácico que sangra de los pulmones y con un tubo de alimentación", dijo LeBlond.

Los médicos inicialmente pensaron que podría ser COVID-19 debido al daño pulmonar, pero sus pruebas resultaron negativas.

"Pensé que lo iba a perder. Fue realmente malo. Estaba inconsciente. No respiraba por sí mismo. No podía tragar ni comer ni hacer nada", dijo LeBlond.

LeBlond pensó que debía haber tenido algo que ver con el trabajo del jardín. Ella le preguntó a su esposo si había manejado algo que no había visto antes, y él dijo: "Sí". Luego describió con qué se había enfrentado.

“Mi hijo y yo buscamos imágenes en Google, le mostramos imágenes de plantas venenosas en Ohio y él dijo: 'Eso es todo'. Era cicuta venenosa ", dijo LeBlond.

El esposo de LeBlond fue al hospital en mayo. Jeanne tiene la esperanza de que esté en casa en agosto, pero eso no puede suceder hasta que esté desconectado de las máquinas que lo mantienen vivo en este momento.

El experto en especies invasoras y  profesor asistente de la Universidad Estatal de Ohio, Joe Boggs,  dice que  la cicuta venenosa realmente ha explotado en el área del Gran Cincinnati durante los últimos 10 a 15 años .

Él dice que siempre debes saber con qué estás lidiando cuando se trata de plantas. Cuando se trata de cicuta venenosa, él dice que solo use un herbicida si no sabe lo que está haciendo.

"El peligro es tan significativo que los herbicidas son probablemente lo más seguro para cualquier persona que intente deshacerse de ellos", dijo Boggs.

Boggs dice que no solo hay que tener cuidado con la cicuta venenosa. Las chirivías silvestres también tienden a crecer en las mismas áreas que la cicuta silvestre. Las chirivías silvestres pueden causar quemaduras graves cuando la savia entra en contacto con la piel y se expone a la luz solar.

CENTER COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) -  La cicuta venenosa  es una especie invasora, actualmente en su punto máximo de floración, a lo largo de carreteras, vías fluviales y pastos.

Lo que puede parecer una flor blanca alta y delicada, tiene un impacto potencialmente mortal.

"Puede causar diferentes tipos de parálisis muscular e insuficiencia respiratoria".

DWIGHT LINGENFELTER, ASOCIADO EN EXTENSIÓN DEL ESTADO DE PENN EN CIENCIA DE MALEZAS.

Los aficionados a la historia pueden conocer la planta en relación con Sócrates.

"Se le dio la opción de su desaparición, y eligió beber té que tenía cicuta venenosa", dijo Lingenfelter.

La planta tiene un olor a humedad y puede oler a perejil cuando se tritura. Sin embargo, su consumo tiene efectos significativos en los seres humanos, los animales salvajes y las mascotas.

• 

• 

Si lo encuentra en su jardín, puede quitarlo con una pala, pero asegúrese de usar guantes y pantalones largos.

“Algunas personas son sensibles a la savia de las plantas, en realidad puede causar dermatitis o ampollas en la piel”, dijo Lingenfelter. "Especialmente si lo estás golpeando con marihuana, por ejemplo, para asegurarte de que tienes pantalones, no pantalones cortos, porque la savia te mancha las piernas y las espinillas y puede causar cierta irritación". 

Debido a los peligros potenciales, se alienta a los residentes de Pensilvania a estar atentos a las flores blancas con tallos manchados de púrpura este verano.

Man has spent more than 40 days on ventilator after handling invasive plant species & Poison hemlock widespread in Pennsylvania, dangerous for humans & animals 14&17JUN21

 I grew up in Pennsylvania, in very rural Scandia, Elk Township, Warren County, PA and I do not remember poison hemlock being a danger we had to watch out for.  Still it is best to pass this on to try to keep all safe and healthy....

Man has spent more than 40 days on ventilator after handling invasive plant species

by CHRISTIAN HAUSER, WKRC Staff

Monday, June 14th 2021

MADEIRA, Ohio (WKRC) - Many of us heard the saying "leaves of three, leave it be" to talk about poison ivy, but an invasive species that can be deadly to animals and humans popping up across the Tri-State is something you need to be on the lookout for.

It's called poison hemlock and Jeanne LeBlond's husband has been in the hospital for 41 days because of it. He's been unable to breathe on his own after he was exposed to it doing yard work.

"We thought he was dehydrated. So, he drank a bunch of water and we watched a show on TV and then we went to bed," LeBlond said.

Around 2 that morning, LeBlond says her husband couldn't breathe. They went to the hospital and he was admitted but he continued getting worse over the next day.

"He is at this point, in the ICU on a ventilator, on a chest tube bleeding from his lungs and on a feeding tube," LeBlond said.

Doctors initially thought it might be COVID-19 due to the lung damage, but his tests came back negative.

"I thought I was going to lose him. It was really bad. He was unconscious. He was not breathing on his own. He was not able to swallow or eat or do anything," LeBlond said.

LeBlond thought it must have had something to do with the yard work. She asked her husband if he handled anything he hadn't seen before, and he said, "Yes." He then described what he’d dealt with.

"My son and I looked for pictures on Google, and we showed him pictures of poisonous plants in Ohio and he said, 'That's it right there.' It was poison hemlock," LeBlond said.

LeBlond’s husband went to the hospital in May. Jeanne is hopeful he will be home by August, but that can't happen until he is off the machines keeping him alive right now.

Invasive species expert and Ohio State University assistant professor Joe Boggs say poison hemlock has really exploded in the Greater Cincinnati area over the past 10 to 15 years.

He says you should always know what you're dealing with when it comes to plants. When it comes to poison hemlock, he says just use an herbicide on it if you don’t know what you’re doing.

"The danger is so significant that herbicides are probably the safest thing for any person who's trying to get rid of it," Boggs said.

Boggs says it’s not just poison hemlock you need to watch out for. Wild parsnips also tend to grow in the same areas as wild hemlock. The wild parsnips can cause severe burns when the sap gets on the skin and it’s exposed to sunlight.

Poison hemlock widespread in Pennsylvania, dangerous for humans & animals

by: Peyton Kennedy

Posted: Jun 17, 2021 / 06:37 PM EDT / Updated: Jun 17, 2021 / 06:37 PM EDT

CENTRE COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) — Poison hemlock is an invasive species, currently at its peak bloom, along highways, waterways, and in pastures.

What may look like a tall, delicate white flower, packs a potentially deadly punch.

“It can cause different types of muscular paralysis and respiratory failure.”

DWIGHT LINGENFELTER, PENN STATE EXTENSION ASSOCIATE IN WEED SCIENCE.

History buffs may know the plant in relation to Socrates.

“He was given the option of his demise, and he chose to drink tea that had poison hemlock in it,” Lingenfelter said.

The plant has a musty smell and can smell like parsley when crushed. Consuming it, however, has significant effects on humans, wild animals, and pets.

• 

• 

If you find it in your yard, you can remove it with a shovel, but be sure to wear gloves and long pants.

“Some people are sensitive to the saps of the plants, it actually can cause some dermatitis or some skin blistering,” said Lingenfelter. “Especially if you’re weed whacking it, for example, to make sure that you have pants, not shorts, cause you get the sap all over your legs and shins and it can cause some irritation.” 

Because of the potential dangers, Pennsylvania residents are encouraged to keep an eye out for the white flowers with purple spotted stems this summer.

 A verdadeira imagem da bayer não é apenas a de aspirina infantil, elevit, cipro, skyla, miralax, stivarga e muitos outros produtos de saúde. É também roundup, Stratego, Warrant, Sivanto e outros herbicidas, fungicidas e inseticidas contendo glifosato, neônicos e outras toxinas que envenenam as pessoas e o meio ambiente. Bayer gasta dezenas de milhões de dólares em campanhas de propaganda enganosa e manipuladora para convencer as pessoas ao redor do mundo que a vida como a conhecemos não pode continuar sem seus venenos. Bayergasta dezenas de milhões de dólares em processos judiciais para impedir os governos de regulamentar e, às vezes, banir seus venenos. Sua campanha para impedir o banimento do glifosato é a mais recente de suas campanhas de propaganda e é a que tem a melhor chance de perder por causa dos fatos dos perigos do glifosato. Da SUMOFUS , por favor, considere doar tudo o que puder para a campanha deles (eu fiz) ....

O glifosato é um destruidor de DNA,  revelam novas pesquisas explosivas. Mas se esses resultados não forem publicados em breve - nossos governos podem aprovar o veneno da Monsanto novamente. Se um número suficiente de nós doar agora, poderemos publicar os resultados em todos os lugares - e ter  nossa melhor chance de interromper o glifosato para sempre. Você pode ajudar? A UE está acelerando no sentido de reaprovar o glifosato tóxico com base em estudos escolhidos a dedo e financiados pela indústria. Outros governos estão fazendo o mesmo. É um desastre. Mas cientistas independentes acabaram de concluir um  estudo inédito  que mostra como o  glifosato danifica o DNA em órgãos internos . Este estudo revolucionário  está pronto, mas seus autores nos  perguntaram se podemos pagar para que ele seja publicado nas principais revistas de acesso público. Dessa forma, os funcionários do governo não podem simplesmente fechar os olhos, como os lobistas da Bayer gostariam que fizessem. Isso poderia ser banido do glifosato. Se um número suficiente de membros como você contribuir com apenas US $ 25,  eles podem enviá-lo para as revistas hoje - mas precisamos ser rápidos. Todos os dias que esperamos, fazendeiros e jardineiros continuam borrifando esse veneno à vontade em nossos campos e playgrounds. Estás dentro? Se você salvou suas informações de pagamento com SumOfUs, sua doação será processada imediatamente: DOE $ 25 AGORADoe outra quantia As empresas de pesticidas precisam provar que seus produtos são seguros. Em muitos lugares, os governos têm que proibir os produtos químicos se dados novos e confiáveis ​​indicarem que há um problema. Por mais de 40 anos, pesquisadores financiados pela indústria têm se concentrado em testes de medula óssea para provar que os pesticidas de glifosato são bons. “O glifosato é seguro, olhe para nossos dados”, eles diziam - e os governos engoliram tudo. Mas agora esse novo estudo mostra que o  glifosato pode não prejudicar a medula óssea, mas, em vez disso, destrói outros órgãos. Quando isso for divulgado nas principais revistas científicas, a Bayer pode dar um beijo de despedida em seu consenso aconchegante com as autoridades de saúde. E se isso não resolver - podemos processar as autoridades para entrar em ação. Pelo que sabemos, a Bayer-Monsanto fez exatamente a mesma pesquisa e apenas enterrou os dados para proteger seus lucros. E-mails internos da Monsanto, divulgados recentemente durante um processo nos Estados Unidos, mostram que os  chefes sabiam anos atrás que a empresa tinha “vulnerabilidades potenciais”  que poderiam ser descobertas um dia. Nós  quase teve sucesso na obtenção de glifosato banido  na Europa há quatro anos - mas o poder do lobby da indústria de pesticidas foi simplesmente demais. Nossos campos, nossa comida - até mesmo nossos corpos estão contaminados com essas coisas. Craig, esta é nossa chance de proibir o glifosato na UE e em todo o mundo. Cada dinheiro extra que arrecadamos fortalecerá nossa campanha contra a indústria de pesticidas - e lutará por proibições em todo o mundo. Este estudo - se pudermos ajudar a divulgá-lo por toda parte - pode quebrar o feitiço da Bayer sobre nossos reguladores e  acabar com a era do glifosato.
