The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga celebrated Juneteenth on Friday, June 14, with an on-campus event at Lupton Hall.<\/p>\n

The UTC Juneteenth Celebration, sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Affairs and the Black Faculty and Staff Association, brought together faculty, staff and students from across campus\u2014plus alumni, family members and summer camp visitors\u2014to learn about the culture, heritage and origins of Juneteenth.<\/p>\n

Observed annually on June 19, Juneteenth marks the emancipation of enslaved African Americans, celebrating the day the news of their liberation reached Texas. This significant event took place on June 19, 1865, when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced General Order No. 3\u2014declaring all enslaved individuals in Texas to be free.<\/p>\n

This declaration came two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, which proclaimed freedom for all enslaved people in Confederate-controlled areas. However, due to the sparse presence of Union forces in Texas during the Civil War, the enforcement of this proclamation was delayed, and the news of emancipation took time to reach the state.<\/p>\n

The UTC celebration brought more than 250 people to the Lupton Hall first-floor lobby for food, games, and music provided by Christian Thompson (also known as DJ Chi).<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a day for our campus to show up, show together, and show some unity across all areas of campus from all walks of life,\u201d Multicultural Affairs Assistant Director Christopher Stokes said. \u201cWe\u2019re really excited to be able to host this annual event for the campus and for our community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thank the campus, our partners, and everyone coming together so that we can share this joyous occasion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stokes noted the many groups that came to Lupton Hall, including students from the Governor\u2019s School program and from one of the campus\u2019 newer summer programs for women in science called ANGELS\u2014led by Dr. Jose Barbosa and Dr. Sandra Affare.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have partners from all across the campus here who are sharing and volunteering with us today,\u201d he said, \u201cand our primary partner is the Black Faculty and Staff Association\u2014which has helped us since the inception of this event to make it what it is today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sherese Williams, the Honors College director of operations and admissions, is president of the UTC Black Faculty and Staff Association. The BFSA, she said, \u201cis happy to have Juneteenth as one of our core programs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an opportunity to bring the campus together to celebrate Juneteenth, to understand and learn the history, but it also gives us an opportunity at having community,\u201d Williams said. \u201cDuring the summer, it\u2019s so easy for us not to see each other because we don\u2019t have the student population that we have in the fall and spring.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis event really gives us all an opportunity to socialize, to have fellowship and celebrate while helping educate people on the history of Juneteenth.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2021, Juneteenth was recognized as a federal holiday. The state of Tennessee acknowledged Juneteenth as an official state holiday for the first time in 2023.<\/p>\n

The UT System observes Juneteenth as a paid holiday\u2014and all its offices, campuses and institutes will be closed on Wednesday, June 19.<\/p>\n
