The Juneteenth Drama

Meer over het boek

In the Juneteenth Drama, political analyst Earl Ofari Hutchinson presents a brief, but concise, assessment of these issues. He contends that the battle for Juneteenth national recognition was a movement that has been driven in part by compassion, in part by guilt, and in part by a need to confront painful racial issues. It also was an easy, and cost-free political concession to African Americans. Still, it was the right one for Congress and the country to make. The Juneteenth Drama tells that story.
