Summary

Remember the past with our annual Juneteenth firelight reading. This year we will read Lemuel Haynes’ 1776 essay, “Liberty Further Extended”. Born in West Hartford in 1753, Haynes was America’s first Black ordained minister. In this response to the Declaration of Independence, Haynes argues against slavery, calls out the hypocrisy of American’s war for “independence,” and advocates for a better, freer future.
