Join us for a discussion of the audio version of this non-fiction title: the story of Juneteenth's significance to American history, as told by a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and Texas native.

Juneteenth or Emancipation Day, June 19th, is a Federal, State, and County holiday celebrating the end of slavery in the United States. It began in Texas when news of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation (effective Jan. 1, 1863) finally reached Texas on June 19, 1865. The discussion will be held in the Meeting Room, 312.
