Progress and accumulation of facts or points on the linear timeline always comes at the expense of Black lives, the goal of the linear western Time is to lock Black bodies out of the Future. | Waiting/Weighting/Wading Time: Juneteenth, Watch Night, + Emancipation Day

December 31, 1862 thus began the first Watch Night Service, as enslaved and liberated Africans watched the Master(‘s) clock waiting for the new year to arrive, and with it, confirmation by newspaper or word of mouth that Lincoln's proclamation had in fact been implemented.
