"I hadn't even heard of the holiday "Juneteenth" until a couple years ago. It was interesting to learn more about the events in history which are remembered on this American holiday."
"I really had no idea with Juneteenth was about until I read this book and was surprised to learn that it was about 2 years from the Emancipation Proclamation until slaves were actually freed in the South. This story explores the true meaning of freedom and the events leading up the Juneteenth celebration."
