THE IMPORTANCE OF JUNETEENTH
Every year pies for justice is hosted in celebration of juneteenth. this is a time for people to come together and recognize the importance of this holiday.
JUNETEENTH MARKS THE DATE OF JUNE 19TH, 1865, WHEN GEN. GORDON GRANGER OF THE UNION ARMY ARRIVED IN GALVESTON TEXAS, TO DEMAND THAT SLAVES BE SET FREE. TEXAS WAS ONE OF THE LAST STATES WHERE SLAVERY ENDURED DESPITE PRESIDENT LINCOLN SIGNING THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION IN 1863. FOLLOWING GRANGER’S ANNOUNCEMENT, THE FORMERLY ENSLAVED AFRICAN AMERICANS BROKE INTO CELEBRATION.
TODAY THAT CELEBRATION, SAID TO BE THE OLDEST BLACK AMERICAN HOLIDAY, IS KNOWN AS JUNETEENTH. AFRICAN AMERICANS NOT ONLY CELEBRATED THEIR FREEDOM BUT THEY ALSO EXERCISED THEIR NEW RIGHTS BY BUYING LAND ACROSS TEXAS. LEARN MORE ABOUT JUNETEENTH HERE.
For over 5 years, we’ve hosted charity pie sales where the most talented chefs created a beautiful array of offerings spanning across multiple counties to all stand together on this mission. We wouldn’t be able to make Pies for Justice a success year after year without the generous support of our chefs, business owners, farmers and purveyors. And thank you to all our supporters and patrons! Take a look at our wonderful past events below!
