Superstitions: Jumping the Broom
In honor of Juneteenth, we explore the tradition of jumping the broom. Enslaved people were not allowed legal marriages; they were stolen away from their families. Despite knowing this, they still made solemn declarations of love in ceremonies where jumping over a broom solidified their unions. Though tragedy befell these couples before and after their jump, we pray daily God will continuously bless the descendants of these unions.
