Juneteenth: The Promise of Freedom reveals the missing chapters of history, taking you from Africa’s great empires to the long fight for justice in America.
More than a holiday, Juneteenth represents centuries of resistance and resilience. This book challenges the Eurocentric version of history, centering Black voices and exposing how Africa’s thriving civilizations were destroyed, its people enslaved and their contributions appropriated.
