Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863 freeing slaves, but the news did not reach the slave of Texas until June 19, 1865. In this story a cousin from New York visits her family in Texas. Aunt Marshall tells the tale of the first Juenteenth when she found her sister once again. But life in Texas is still not completely free as the “whites only” signs declare. ( ) Summary: At first glance I could tell this story depicts an African American family. It is told by June, a little girl whose visiting cousin; Lillie, learns that different geographical places consider "Freedom" as a term that means freedom from bondage of masters. This is contrary to what Lillie understands freedom to represent. The great aunt remembers the problems she and her sister went through, to the current celebration the family is preparing to go to. Eventually, June and her cousin relate to these problems when Lillie sees a water fountain with a sign stating, "Whites Only", this opens up the reasoning for the celebration "Juneteenth". Review: A beautiful book with matt finish illustrations. A good short story that depicts an African American family whose trials through their dilemma; being bought and sold as slaves, will allow the next generation new opportunities that she herself will never live long enough to experience. So, she wants the cousins to claim these rights for themselves and an even younger generation. Extension Ideas: This is a good book to talk about how African American families were discriminated against, what their fears were, how they were lied to and kept ignorant of the law that enforced anti-discrimination of African American people. As well, the challenges people have during the planning and preparing for celebrations. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
