I cannot let this go. Because #Passover changes from year to year on the Gregorian calendar. Reminder. My great great grandfather Elijah Mitchell was enslaved on a tobacco farm near Appomattox, Virginia &he was a cook. At 15 years old he saw "The Surrender". It was also Passover.

Little did he know, the ancient celebration of liberation from enslavement was being commemorated during his first legal night of freedom.

The nightmare was over. Passover 1865 and the defeat and surrender of the #Confederate army must have felt like it was heaven sent. Horse and rider were thrown into the sea.
