Notice! The Coloured People of the City of Richmond… [broadside]
Description
An account of the resource
This 1866 broadside, issued by members of the African American community in Richmond, intended to clarify their plans to celebrate not the fall of the Confederacy, but rather the first anniversary of emancipation. <br /><br />When Richmond fell into the hands of Union troops, on 3 April 1865, enslaved individuals there effectively were emancipated. The text noted that the black community would commemorate “the day on which GOD was pleased to liberate their long-oppressed race”—emphasizing that their freedom came about as a result of God’s will. <br /><br />In the immediate aftermath of the war, racialized confrontations in Richmond’s streets frequently led to violence, and near-riots. The African American community, while determined to carry out their celebration, clearly intended to preempt potentially violent repercussions. <br /><br />Text: <br /><br />"NOTICE! <br />The coloured people of the City of Richmond would most respectfully inform the public, that <br />THEY DO NOT INTEND <br />to celebrate<br />THE FAILURE OF THE SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY, <br />as it has been stated in the papers of this City, but simply as the day on which GOD was pleased to Liberate their long-oppressed race. <br /><br />C. Harris,<br />J. Cocks, <br />J. Edmunds, <br />F. J. Smith,<br />N. Williams, <br />Committee.<br /><br />Richmond, Va., April 2, 1866"
