Did you know Juneteenth is the first federal holiday created in nearly 40 years? The last being the creation of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. But what is it all about? Who celebrates it? What will the celebrations look like? Ed Cotham, the author of Juneteenth: The Story Behind the Celebration, and a prizewinning historical author spoke to us about the longest running African American Holiday, how it has changed, and evolved. In this episode we talk about food, songs, and other festivities, but we also talk about slavery, racism and the continued national conversation that Juneteenth will inevitably elicit.
