Looking to hear something that could, perhaps, cool you down while providing insights into this country’s most recent, hot weather-based holiday?
If so, click on the book cover image on the right.
Last month for BIO (the Biographers International Organization), I had the pleasure of conducting a ZOOM interview with Harvard University Professor Annette Gordon-Reed, the Pulitzer Prize and multiple award-winning author and historian, best known for her compelling studies of such 19thcentury figures as Thomas Jefferson, Sally Hemmings and Andrew Johnson.
Gordon-Reed’s latest book, On Juneteenth (published in May of this year), is an insightful, personalized view of the history and legacy of the mid-June celebration that marks the end of slavery in Texas.
So treat yourself to a pleasurable and hopefully an enlightening summertime podcast.
And enjoy!
