Roses and thorns: 5-9-21 A rose to all those who contributed to yet another inspiring Eighth of May celebration. Saturday marked the 15th year of the event that celebrates the day on which the black citizens of Columbus were emancipated upon the arrival of federal troops on May 8, 1865. This year’s event at Sandfield Cemetery included not only students from Chuck Yarborough’s MSMS African American history class, but the Columbus High School Choir and Mississippi State’s Jembe Den drum ensemble, which added another element to the event. The Eighth of May has been essential in keeping the story of emancipation in Columbus alive, but it serves perhaps even a greater purpose unifying our community through the human stories portrayed by the students. Indeed, Saturday’s audience was almost equally divided among Black and white visitors. There are few events in our city that serve a more noble and inspiring purpose.
