Title A name given to the resource Juneteenth Description An account of the resource Known to some as the country's “second Independence Day,” Juneteenth celebrates the freedom of enslaved people in the United States at the end of the Civil War. For more than 150 years, African American communities across the country have observed this holiday. Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021. The Historical Legacy of Juneteenth tells the story of how in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas, enslaved people would not be free until two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamations went into effect. Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas.

Title A name given to the resource African American Jurors Description An account of the resource In 1935 at least two juries were established in Fairfax County with African American members. This was significant because Blacks were usually excluded from serving on juries in Virginia. Press reports indicated that these were the first African Americans to serve on a Fairfax County jury since 1883. Exclusion of African Americans from juries because of their race was unconstitutional and could result in miscarriages of justice. In the 1930s two highly publicized criminal trials, the Commonwealth of Virginia v. Murphy and the Scottsboro Boys trial in Alabama, drew attention to the dangers Black defendants faced when judged by all-White juries. In Fairfax, an all-Black grand jury and a mixed-raced trial jury were established after protests from an attorney defending two African American women accused of arson. May 24,1935 The first African Americans selected to be on a jury in Fairfax County were selected from the Fairfax County Colored Citizens Association. They were Foreman Alexander L. White, Sideburn, Otis Wade, Falls Church, Atanar Payne, Fairfax, John R. Pearson, Fairfax, Joseph Collins, Merrifield, Henry Page, Fairfax, and Ollie W. Tinner, Falls Church.

Title A name given to the resource Civil War Home Guard Defends Falls Church Description An account of the resource In October 1864, a contingent of Confederate John S. Mosby’s raiders entered Falls Church to steal horses. A member of the Home Guard sounded an alarm alerting Falls Church residents and the Union pickets about the presence of the raiders. During the raid, two members of the interracial Home Guars, an African American and lay minister John Read, were captured, shot, and presumed dead. John Read died. The African American survived being shot but lost an ear. Today, the two historic markers in Falls Church that describe the raid differ in certain details. For example, who sounded the alarm, the names of the captured, and the name of the African American who was shot and survived. Two African Americans are named in the text of the markers. Frank Brooks and Jacob Jackson.
