Dr. Hilary Green on Juneteenth
Program: Piedmont Arts Podcast
Aired: Monday, June 10, 2024
Hosted by David Boraks
Juneteenth marks the date on June 19, 1865, when news of the Emancipation Proclamation finally reached the last remaining enslaved people in Texas. We talk with Davidson College historian Hilary Green about how Texas commemorations in the 19th century led to the declaration of a national holiday in 2021. We also get an overview of the Juneteenth events happening in the Charlotte area.
