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.
