• Did you know that Watch Night/Freedom’s Eve is spiritual and cultural, not religious and congregational?
• Did you know that Watch Night/Freedom’s Eve for whites meant “watching” for the coming of their god but for Blacks it meant “watching” for the coming of their freedom?
• Did you know that Watch Night/Freedom’s Eve began at 7:00 pm for our enslaved ancestors on Dec. 31, 1862?
