< Return to Events and Press Releases WATCH NIGHT/FREEDOM'S EVEBrothers and Sisters, At 7:00 p.m. on December 31, 1862, our enslaved ancestors anxiously awaited the freedom that they were told would finally come the next day. For them, it was the long-awaited hope that the kidnapping, the enslaving, the brutal backbreaking labor, the buying, the selling, the beating, the raping, the castrating, and the lynching would finally end. Although it did eventually end, we — not they — reaped the benefits. They went through hell to get us to heaven. Therefore, we must acknowledge them, thank them, and especially avenge them. Avenging The Ancestors Coalition (ATAC) invites you to its first annual Watch Night/Freedom's Eve, which will be held at 7:00 p.m. on December 31 at Zion Baptist Church, Broad and Venango. For more information, please read the attached flyer. Sincerely, ATAC 215/552-8751 AVENGING THE ANCESTORS COALITION (ATAC)
