#Repost @liverightpublishing with @make_repost ・ #Repost @liverightpublishing with @make_repost ・・・ Historian David Blight once wrote of Annette Gordon-Reed's work that, “If this country has a modern Shakespeare looking for material, Gordon-Reed has provided it.” In ON JUNETEENTH, on sale now wherever books are sold, Gordon-Reed offers her most personal work yet, weaving together American history, family chronicle, and memoir into a concise account of her native Texas, and how African-Americans have played an integral role in the state's story. As our country verges on recognizing June 19 as a national holiday, ON JUNETEENTH is both an essential account and a stark reminder that the fight for equality is exigent and ongoing. • • #juneteenth #annettegordonreed #read #reader #book #bookish #texas #history #historian #galveston #africanamericans #blackhistory #write #writers #blackwriters #ushistory #americanhistory #onjuneteenth #abolition #emancipation #race #civilwar #amreading #tbr #tbrpile #bookstagram #bookworm #booklife #bookish #igreads
