About This Collection

"From Ralph Ellison’s improvisational novel to Annette Gordon-Reed’s history of Juneteenth in Texas and beyond, rich and personal stories seem to me to be the purest form of commemoration on this holiday—and every day. I curated the voices that keep me inspired to work for change in our world, from the multi-voiced Four Hundred Souls to Eddie Glaude’s re-examination of the urgency and relevance of James Baldwin’s writing, Begin Again. Because I’m your history editor, I chose works that highlight the effects of Emancipation, such as The Warmth of Other Suns and South to America; because I believe in the power of stories, I tried to highlight the fragility and persistence of storytelling, in the National Book Award–winning All That She Carried, e.g., or Clint Smith’s poetic How the Word is Passed. Happy Juneteenth, listeners. Enjoy!" —Christina H.
