A review by tlaynejones
On Juneteenth by Annette Gordon-Reed

informative reflective fast-paced

5.0

I enjoyed this short collection of essays providing a broad history of Texas and the USA. The author was the first person to integrate a school in her community, entering first grade as the lone Black child in her school. She went on to become a Pulitzer Prize winning historian and university professor. I appreciated that the history she writes about was always interpreted through her personal perspective and the wider social understanding.
