This is the day that African Americans literally "passed over" from slavery to freedom, April 9, 1865; Robert E. Lee surrounded his army to Ulysses S. Grant. Beginning in April 2000, my three churches all celebrated "African American Passover" ritually, spiritually, historically for the end of 76 years of American chattel slavery in glory, by the grace of God, by the ingenuity of our African American ancestors and their Union allies.
