See you tonight at 8:00 PM ET for Author Talk: History: Celebrating Ida B. Wells’ Birthday with Author Michelle Duster. She will explore her great-grandmother’s activism, both for its everlasting importance and the guidance it provides for the modern-day as we continue to strive toward justice together. In our ongoing partnership with @asalh_bhm, we will enjoy a night exploring Duster’s mission in writing Ida B. The Queen: The Extraordinary Life and Legacy of Ida B. Wells, and how she hopes all ages can share this story together. Be sure to tune in via Facebook Live! Link in bio!

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.
