THE PROPHETS PAPERBACK VIRTUAL TOUR: Special Juneteenth Panel Event with Book Passage
June 19, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm EDT
Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, is a holiday commemorating the emancipation of those who were enslaved in the United States. Until very recently, this historical milestone, which originated in Texas, was only observed in that state. Thankfully and rightfully, it is garnering more attention, official recognition and celebrated annually on June 19 throughout the country and as a nationally observed federal holiday on Monday, June 20. Not surprising, many Black writers, authors and activists are embracing and elevating this special demarcation of the end of slavery. As such, Book Passage is giving a platform to invited guest writers of acclaim to share their thoughtful reflections about Juneteenth, through the written and spoken word.
