We linked a digital copy of _Emancipation Celebration_ in this article. On this #Juneteenth, read what Francois Boisdoré, Stephen Rogers, & other Black leaders shared in NOLA & w/ Lincoln in 1864 - what it meant for them then; what they expected in the future. #williamscollection

What may be America’s first Juneteenth took place in New Orleans in the summer of 1864. Ten formerly enslaved men published a history of the events as a gift meant to inspire Abraham Lincoln. @susannahjural and @annmdaly1 examine what the document reveals. https://t.co/K8Fjqc5a1o

_Emancipation Celebration_, which features rare accounts of Juneteenth celebrations in 1864 New Orleans told from an entirely Black perspective, inspired this article by Ann Marsh Daly & me. Thanks @jimdowns1 for encouraging us to publish this!
