In her New Yorker piece "Growing Up with Juneteenth," Harvard history professor and award-winning writer Annette Gordon-Reed began reflecting on the Texas holiday's rise to a national celebration. Gordon-Reed's new book, On Juneteenth, takes an even deeper dive, melding memoir and history to describe the commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States and the continued fight for Black equality.
