IF YOU COME TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS DISTRICT IN BIRMINGHAM ON SATURDAY, THE PLACE TO CELEBRATE THE JUNE TENTH, ALSO KNOWN AS AFRICAN-AMERICAN FREEDOM DAY. THIS IS THE BIGGEST, IF NOT, ONE OF THE BIGGEST CELEBRATIONS THAT THE GHTSRI CIVIL DISTRICT WAS SEEN IN SEVERAL MANY YEARS, ON JUNE 19, 1586 AFTER THE CIVIL WAR, A UNION GENERAL ROLLEDO T GALVEST, TO OVER 250,000 SLAVES, IN TEXAS, TO OVER 250,000 ERRORS. THEY WERE FREE FOR A GOOD TWO YEARS AFTER EMANCIPATION. THE RESTRICTION CELEBRATING THE TENTH OF JUNE IS TRADITION FOR MANY IN THE BLACK NAGI MALACHAM COMMUNITY WHAT THE BIRMINGHAM CIVIL RIGHTS INSTITUTE SAYS THIS YEAR IS THE YEAR IN WHICH ALL BACKGROUNDS ARE INVOLVED. IT’S VERY IMPORTANT FOR US HERE AT BCRI TO OFFER THE COMMUNITY. NOT JUST A WAY TO CELEBRATE OUR HERITAGE BUT ALSO NEW WAYS TO REINVENT OUR PAST AND OUR FREEDOM IN THIS COUNTRY. IT WAS NOT UNTIL NATIONAL PROTESTS FOLLONGWI FLOYD’S DEATH IN THE LAST YEAR, MORE PEOPLE IN SRTTA HAVE EXPERIENCED THE IMPORTANCE OF HOLIDAYS. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THERE IS DEFINITELY A GROWING INTERTES, NOT JUST IN THE CELEBRATIONS OF JUNE 10TH BUT AT ALL THE FEELS AROUND BLACK LIFE AND BLACK HERITAGE HERE IN AMERICA, AND WE ARE VERY HAPPY FOR THAT. THEREFORE, BCRI HAS A GUIDE ON ITS WEBSITE. WE HAVE MANY PEOPLE IN OUR EDUCATIONRO PGRAMS TEAM. THEY ARE CARRIED OUT AT OTHER SCHOOLS AND LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS AND COMPANIES. IN ORDER TO SPREAD THE WORD NOT ONLY ABOUT THE HISTORY BUT IN THE APPROPRIATE WAYS TO CELEBRATE THE 10TH OF JUNE THEY HOPE TO DWRA A DIVERSE GROUP OF 3,000P
