The Emancipation Proclamation

Since most slaves were unable to read, they were at the mercy of people who were not in a hurry to tell them they were free. On June 19, 1865, General Gordon Granger rode into Galveston, Texas and read this document to the slaves.  The 19th of June became a day of JUBILEE and was celebrated every year as "JUNETEENth."

The Willie Lynch Letter

This speech was delivered by a whiteslave owner, William Lynch, in 1712. Lynch spoke to the slave owners to share with them his method for controlling slaves and promised them that if they used his method (pitting slaves against slaves), the Black slave would carry on with this indoctrination  for hundreds of years ... maybe thousands.  Was he right?
