Summary
[edit]DescriptionJuneteen Memorial Monument at George Washinton Carver Museum in Austin Texas.jpg |
English: The Juneteenth Exhibit is the core of the George Washington Carver Museum, Cultural, and Genealogy Center's permanent exhibits. The displays and information provided help visitors understand the significance of freedom to formerly enslaved African Americans. Multimedia presentations introduce students to the earliest and present day Juneteenth celebrations. It also provides the opportunity to learn about Texas’ participation in the Civil War, history of the celebration, why the holiday is significant for all Americans, as well as contrasting and comparing early commemorations and modern day activities.
The Juneteenth Memorial Sculpture Monument opened to the public June 27, 2015. It is made up of 5 bronze figures that represent the story of Juneteeth and a paved timeline of the Black Presence in the Americas—from the Middle Passage to the Emancipation Proclamation that leads to the Bell of Freedom. The Juneteenth Sculptures are created by Adrienne Rison Isom and Eddie Dixon. Isom, a native Austinite, created 3 of the sculpture pieces—Freed Man & Freed Woman, and Child (the girl figure). And Dixon created the remaining work—Law Maker and Pastor. The sculptures show how the news of freedom spread. Juneteenth began on June 19, 1865 with an order read by General Gordon Grainger—a law that the Emancipation Proclamation was enforced. So Legislature learned of freedom first, then the news reached The Pastor (who represents the faith leader in African American Community). The Pastor told the enslaved people represented by the Freed Man and Freed Woman, and they shared the news with youth-the Child figure. The blank pedestal is where visitors can stand and be a part of the piece and continue the Juneteenth Story—to remember, to reflect, and to be inspired to share the emancipation story with others. Sculptors: Adrienne Rison Isom and Eddie Dixon. |
