A review by kshertz
On Juneteenth by Annette Gordon-Reed

informative reflective fast-paced

3.25

This is a very short book that details the authors history with Texas and mixes in the history of Juneteenth with Black people’s history in Texas in general. There was some that I knew but a lot that I didnt. I think most impactful for me is realizing that origins stories for Black people don’t just come from being on a ship with Europeans as well as talking about what integration did to Black teacher’s lives. There’s so much good historical information to go through and learn.
