My birthday is on June 19th and I only learned about Juneteenth six years ago. It is embarrassing to admit this and it is the truth. I know I am far from the only white person for whom this is true. This month, I felt it was important to share a piece about Juneteenth that provides more than a cursory glance at its origins. I have also included a book by Annette Gordon-Reed for those of you who would like to take a deeper dive into the history of this day. I hope you do!!

See you on the journey,

Robin
