Sixty-Two Years of Freedom Be Celebrated At Blackdom 19th
Our sixty-second Juneteenth anniversary is scheduled to arrive at Blackdom, Chaves County, New Mexico, on Sunday, June 19th, 1927.
On that day, it is being arranged to have, instead of a jazz band to furnish music, a well-trained choir to sing the choicest of our “Plantation Melodies,” as well as some of the latest negro spirituals. There will be preaching of course whether you like it or not. That means by the very nature of the thing that there will be no booze in three miles of town and certainly, none will be on the grounds if hoping will keep it away. In the plan, provision is being made to utilize every moment of time from start to finish in singing, praying, preaching, and lecturing on all important questions now agitating the minds of today.
Room will be made on the program for school children from anywhere and everywhere, this giving our boys and girls an excellent opportunity to read or declaim in public.
Everybody is hereby cordially invited to come and help swell the crowd. And don’t forget if you come you are under ten thousand and one obligation to bring your eats with you if you think well of your appetites. Clinton Ragsdale will furnish barbecue, but this is a basket dinner.
Come on Sunday, June 19th, 1927, dressed in your Sunday clothes and with your brackets running over with the best eats you ever prepared. So Long!
