Wade in the Water Juneteenth 2024 at Historic Odd Fellows Lodge - Sandy Spring, MD

"Wade in the Water" is a traditional African-American spiritual that dates back to the era of slavery. It was originally sung by enslaved African Americans as a means of communication and as a symbol of hope and freedom. The lyrics and melodies were often used to convey hidden messages and instructions for escape on the Underground Railroad. The song is deeply rooted in the African American experience, expressing the collective longing for freedom and justice. It's a powerful testament to the resilience and spirit of those who endured the hardships of slavery. Juneteenth is a holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States, observed annually on June 19. It marks the day in 1865 when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas found out they had been freed — after the end of the Civil War, and two years after President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. Since it was designated a federal holiday in 2021, Juneteenth has become more universally recognized beyond Black America. This performance "Wade in the Water" with Sharp Street UMC Sandy Spring, Md, during the Juneteenth celebration at the Historic Odd Fellows Lodge was a powerful reminder of the resilience and spirit of African Americans. We celebrate the journey towards freedom and equality, while also acknowledging the struggles and hardships endured along the way. This ia a demonstration of hope, resistance, and the ongoing fight for justice and equality. A reminder of the importance of remembering our history, honoring our ancestors, and continuing the fight for a more equitable and just society.
