2. Dr. Jacqueline Lawrence and 3. Sydni Davenport talk about the history of the Juneteenth, the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. Note that this was two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation – which had become official January 1, 1863.  Our guests share when they first encountered Juneteenth and when they found out its meaning.  Sydni Davenport shares how her grandmother Evangelist Marteal Perry hosted the first Juneteenth in Sonoma County after moving from Texas and settling on a piece of land in Somoma County. Sydni will play a white slave owner’s daughter in the play Unschackled, produced by Dr. Jacqueline Lawerence, who also stars in the production presented at the Juneteenth Celebration in Santa Rosa at the Martin Luther King, jr, Park this Saturday at 10 am.

About our Guest:  Dr. Jacqueline Lawrence was born and raised in Santa Rosa, California, the third of five children to Lamon and Sarah Lawrence. She attended Tuskegee University in Alabama and graduated in 1983 with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, and later earned her Masters in Theology and Doctorate in Christian Counseling from Sacramento Theological Seminary and Bible College.Dr. Jacqueline Lawrence is an author, playwright, and Founder and CEO of Legacy Showcases, featuring Heiress Choral Group, The Underground Railroad Pop Up Museum, and a variety of black history productions in honor of African Slaves.

About our Guest:  Sydni Davenport was born and raised in Sonoma county and her grandmother Evangelist Marteal Perry settled in Sonoma County after WWII and started hosting the first Juneteenth in Sonoma County at her homestead in 1953, having enjoyed the annual gathering from her Texas home town and wanting to recreate the experience for Black Americans in Sonoma County, of which at the time were only a few in number.  In 1970 Sydni’s family decided to move the event to the park.  Since Sydni’s  father was white she was chossen to act as the white slave owner’s wife in the play Unshackled.
