How to Keep Juneteenth Alive All Year Round

Pulitzer Prize winner Professor Annette Gordon-Reed has been celebrating Juneteenth her entire life. But in light of the global spotlight on the Black Lives Matter movement from last year’s protests against police brutality, more and more people are aware of what Juneteenth represents for America. As well as a celebration of Black joy and liberty, Juneteenth is an opportunity to reflect on the history of emancipation—and how we can continue to fight for civil rights the other days of the year too. In this episode, Professor Gordon Reed — a notable American historian and Harvard professor — shares why she wrote On Juneteenth , her personal relationship to the federal holiday, and why this year’s Juneteenth felt different than years before.
