- More about On Juneteenth
On Juneteenth, Annette Gordon-Reed explores the origins of the holiday that celebrates the emancipation of those who had been enslaved in the United States, reworking the "Alamo" framework to show that the slave-and race-based economy defined the era of Texas independence and precipitated the Mexican-American War and the Civil War.

On Juneteenth, a captivating blend of American history, dramatic family chronicle, and poignant memoirs, unfolds the origins of the holiday that commemorates the emancipation of those who had been enslaved in the United States. Annette Gordon-Reed, a descendant of enslaved people brought to Texas in the 1850s, delves into the profound legacies of this celebratory day.
Spanning from the earliest presence of black people in Texas in the 1500s, long before enslaved Africans reached Jamestown, to the historic moment in Galveston on June 19, 1865, when General Gordon Granger declared the end of slavery, Gordon-Reed's insightful and inspiring essays chronicle the saga of a diverse "frontier" populated by Native Americans, Anglos, Tejanos, and Blacks.
By reimagining the framework of the "Alamo," Gordon-Reed reveals that the slave-and race-based economy not only defined this tumultuous era of Texas independence but also played a pivotal role in precipitating the Mexican-American War and the subsequent Civil War. This commemorative book serves as a stark reminder that the fight for equality remains an ongoing endeavor.
