Philly Juneteenth Celebration Featuring: Dr. Leonard & Rosalind Jeffries

Over 60 years, first begining as individuals and later in marriage, Dr. Rosalind and Leonard Jeffries have began their Great and Majestic Walk with African Peoples and our Great Culture. Their Walk has spanded more than 25 African Countries and Hundreds of African Leaders and at the same time they were instrumental in fusing the African American Experience with their African Continental Experience !

1865 people were not interested in

immigration into the United States. In

fact, the United States in the 1850's

and 1860's had established a Know-

Nothing Party; they did not want

immigrants; they were against

immigrants; and the immigrants that

they were against were Papists,

German and Irish Catholics. There was

no prospect of bringing in immigrants

from central, eastern, and southern

Europe; these were the unwashed

masses. Eighteen-sixty-five was our

period. Eighteen-sixty-five was when

half a million Black people, a quarter-

million of them official Union army,

navy troops-participated in the Civil

War.

The question of Black folks getting into

their history, starting to fight for liberty

and struggling for what is right is not

the question of disuniting America. It

has been our struggle that has kept

America united. It has been our

struggle that has raised anew the

liberties that this nation professes. It

has been our struggle that has created

the 14th Amendment that became the

amendment that the women could use

and others could use, when they talk

about the expansion of liberty in

America.
