Juneteenth and Justice: Advocating for Change in the Spirit of Freedom

By Andrew Bennett

Juneteenth and Justice: Advocating for Change in the Spirit of Freedom invites readers to embark on a profound exploration of one of the most significant milestones in American history.

This book unravels the rich tapestry of Juneteenth, commemorating the end of slavery in the United States, while simultaneously advocating for a continued pursuit of justice.

The introduction serves as a compelling call to action, urging individuals to reflect on the historical context of Juneteenth and its implications for contemporary society.

Understanding Juneteenth as a National Holiday represents a significant step in recognizing the history and contributions of African Americans to the fabric of the United States.

This holiday, celebrated on June 19, marks the day in 1865 when enslaved people in Texas were finally informed of their freedom, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

The establishment of Juneteenth as a national holiday is not only a commemoration of this pivotal moment but also a call to reflect on the ongoing struggle for racial equality and justice that continues to resonate today.
