Happy Juneteenth to all those who celebrate!

❤️🖤💚💛

This is my current read, especially for today, and I’m learning so much about Opal Lee —her upbringing, her life, her work, her fight, her legacy — and about Juneteenth that I didn’t know before.

Like did you know that she walked all the way from Galveston, Texas to D.C. to bring attention to Juneteenth in order to make it a federal holiday!? And that on one Juneteenth night in 1939 an angry mob terrorized her and her family for moving to their all white neighborhood. Wow, what mighty things she has probably seen, experienced, and accomplished in her 99 years of life!

I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful day and the history and significance that it honors!

Juneteenth Recommendation:

It’s still Juneteenth weekend right!? Well, happy belated Juneteenth y’all! 🎉✊🏾

Today I wanted to highlight a graphic novel that I’ve been so excited to read since I first heard about it and was able to support it on Kickstarter back in 2018!

Illustrated beautifully in black and white, Wake: The Hidden History of Women-Led Slave Revolts is a part graphic novel, part graphic memoir that follows one women’s efforts to uncover the truth about the women-led slave revolts that have been left out of historical records for far too long. Despite their enslavement, these women warriors planned and led revolts on slave ships during the Middle Passage and fought their enslavers throughout the Americas. However, they were completely erased from history and overshadowed by other well-known slave revolts such as Nat Turner’s Rebellion and The Stono Rebellion. Because of this, Dr. Rebecca Hall, a historian and granddaughter of slaves, uses her in-depth archival research to tell the story of these mighty women.

Can’t wait to start my read of this and learn more about events and people that my history textbooks never elaborated on!
