The Revolutionary Origins of Memorial Day

Do you regard Memorial Day as a "day without politics" or a radical celebration of "those who fought for justice and liberation?"

"What we now know as Memorial Day began as “Decoration Day” in the immediate aftermath of the U.S. Civil War.

"It was a tradition initiated by former slaves to celebrate emancipation and commemorate those who died for that cause.

"These days, Memorial Day is arranged as a day 'without politics'—a general patriotic celebration of all soldiers and veterans, regardless of the nature of the wars in which they participated.

"This is the opposite of how the day emerged, with explicitly partisan motivations, to celebrate those who fought for justice and liberation"

Memorial Day Whitewash:

"Blight’s award-winning 'Race and Reunion: The Civil War in American Memory' (2001) explained how three 'overall visions of Civil War memory collided' in the decades after the war.

"The first was the emancipationist vision, embodied in African Americans’ remembrances and the politics of Radical Reconstruction, in which the Civil War was understood principally as a war for the destruction of slavery and the liberation of African Americans to achieve full citizenship.

"The second was the reconciliationist vision, ostensibly less political, which focused on honoring the dead on both sides, respecting their sacrifice, and the reunion of the country.

"The third was the white supremacist vision, which was either openly pro-Confederate or at least despising of Reconstruction as “Black rule” in the South.

"Over the late 1800s and the early 1900s, in the context of Jim Crow and the complete subordination of Black political participation, the second and third visions largely combined.

"The emancipationist version of the Civil War, and the heroic participation of African Americans in their own liberation, was erased from popular culture, the history books and official commemoration.

"The spirit of the first Decoration Day—the struggle for Black liberation and the fight against racism—has unfortunately been whitewashed from the modern Memorial Day."
