On Juneteenth by Annette Gordon-Reed

3.0
I don’t know whether it was the timing of me listening to this (and mostly listening when I was tired), or the structure of the book itself, or the Texas focus, but I really struggled to connect with it and stay focused, which is surprising to me given the subject matter.
Notwithstanding, this book is deeply researched and packed with information, and I’m realising that I love informative books that weave in memoirs/personal stories.
If you want to know more about the history of slavery, Juneteenth, and the state of Texas in relation to these, this book is a must read.
The narration of the audiobook by Karen Chilton is great also!
