I‘ve got to admit, I‘d only heard of Juneteenth in the past couple of years. To celebrate tonight I‘m watching some of the Juneteenth Book Fest talks https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu--Ur5D1oWHD3JOM9rODxw listening to my current audiobook, (Jasmine Guillory‘s THE PROPOSAL), and starting STAMPED. I‘m hoping to get to CLAP WHEN YOU LAND and RIOT BABY during the Eclectic Readathon next week.

Friday, June 19, will see the launch of the first inaugural Juneteenth Book Festival. One of the founders is author L.L. McKinney, author of the A Blade So Black trilogy. Looks like a great lineup!

The Emancipation Proclamation spontaneously began on June 19, 1865, in Galveston, Texas, and grew from there into a nationwide celebration of freedom among African Americans after the Civil War.
