Amherst community leader who worked to make Juneteenth state holiday hopes it becomes national holiday on June 19

Amilcar Shabazz, professor of history and Africana Studies in the W. E. B. Du Bois Department of Afro-American Studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst says he is hopeful Juneteenth becomes a national holiday this year.

By Jim Russell | Special to The Republican
AMHERST – Amilcar Shabazz, a community leader in the movement making June 19 the Juneteenth Holiday in Massachusetts is hopeful it becomes a national holiday this year – with President Joe Biden signing a bill into law on Saturday.

This special day’s roots come from Texas, circa June 19, 1865, when Civil War combat came to a close – with a Union General declaring: “all slaves are free.”

In an interview, Shabazz said Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass. introduced legislation in February with 60 cosponsors, and that Rep. Shirley Jackson Lee, D-Texas, did so in the house with more than 160 cosponsors.

“That says to me: we can make this happen,” Shabazz said. Shabazz is professor of history and Africana Studies in the W. E. B. Du Bois Department of Afro-American Studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

“I am optimistic that can be on President Biden’s desk by June 19,” he said. “We need to mark the end of slavery – that opens the door for everything else. . . It’s going to happen.”

Shabazz spoke about growing up in Texas -- and how one day he realized, in the south, that Texans religiously observe June 19 as the end of slavery. And, how this consciousness became spark to expanding something very important in the history and life of folks in the United States, and its various and sundry societies across 50 states.

“This is what can bring us together. . . under banner of human equality and liberation,” he said.

“The more this country can unify around full freedom . . . this is the way – we now have a conversation that brings together the (missing) step from 1776 – all the people have a stake in freedom,” he said, referring to gaps in the life of the nation – when segregation was enshrined in law and discrimination against Blacks legal, prior to the civil war; and following it as well.

As for Massachusetts, where he and his family moved in 2007 from Oklahoma, Shabazz described some of his experiences, “I’m a southerner, a global south person. . . Massachusetts, with all its vaunted Blue State” progressive leanings and “the Kennedy background” – with Juneteenth becoming a state holiday – “that is living up to that reputation.”

“I am so happy of the role Massachusetts has played; we need it nationally; this is what can bring us together,” he said.

Several events are planned to celebrate Juneteenth in Amherst.

They include Civil War tablet display outside Bangs Center, soldiers’ remembrance at West Cemetery, a Community Jubilee on Town Common with food and entertainment, and art and fashion show at The Mill District.

Last week Amherst Town Council unanimously approved a Juneteenth proclamation on behalf of community.

The Council proclamation reads in part: “The Town of Amherst recognizes its deep connection with Juneteenth and pays homage to the Civil War Soldiers from near and afar, including Amherst residents Christopher, John, Henry, James, and Charles Thompson who served in the 54th Regiment of the Massachusetts 5th Cavalry, who were among the soldiers in Texas for the liberation, and who are laid to rest in the West Cemetery located in Amherst Center.”

The schedule of events in Amherst on Saturday are as follows:

Soldiers Tribute 10 a.m., West Cemetery (off Triangle St.)
Commemoration and Civil War Tablet Exhibit, 11 a.m., Bangs Center Courtyard (70 Boltwood Walk)
Community Jubilee 1 p.m., Town Common (Boltwood Avenue) with entertainment and food available for purchase from local BIPOC vendors
Sunset Reception 6 p.m., The Mill District in North Amherst (Cowls Road) featuring an artist collective and fashion show, including work of Anika Lopes, a sixth generation Amherst native of Black and Native American ancestry
