Happy #Juneteenth!! The history books will say the President Joe Biden made Juneteenth a federal holiday, but here is the tea.  Opal Lee @therealopallee (born October 7, 1926) is an American retired teacher, counselor, and activist in the movement to make Juneteenth a federally-recognized holiday. She is often described as the "grandmother of Juneteenth". Lee campaigned for decades to make Juneteenth a federal holiday. At the age of 89, she conducted a symbolic walk from Fort Worth to Washington, D.C., leaving in September 2016 and arriving in Washington in January 2017. She hoping to plead the case for a federal holiday directly to President Barack Obama @BarackObama. She promoted a petition for a Juneteenth federal holiday at Change.org; the petition received 1.6 million signatures. She said, "It's going to be a national holiday, I have no doubt about it. My point is let's make it a holiday in my lifetime." In June 2021, at the age of 94, her efforts succeeded as a bill to make Juneteenth a federal holiday was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Joe Biden @JoeBiden.  As she sat in the front row, she received a standing ovation and Biden got down on one knee to greet her.

Reposted from @aartireadsalot Wake: The Hidden History of Women-Led Slave Revolts, by Rebecca Hall    “You think you are reading an accurate chronicle written at the time, but if who we are and what we care about are deemed irrelevant, it won’t be in there.”    Did you know that the more women onboard a slave ship, the higher the likelihood of a slave revolt? Rebecca Hall taught me that, and much more, in this phenomenal graphic novel.   This book is part history, part memoir, and part fiction, all working together to fill in the gaps historical records leave, and the people left out of those records. Hall has pored over countless documents in her quest to bring to light everything women went through under slavery. In many of those documents, there is the merest whisper, barely an acknowledgment of a Black woman’s presence, and she carefully follows that thread where it leads.     Her point about how often women are erased from history, and how our understanding of history is therefore flawed and incomplete is an important one that she drives home in this book. It reminded me of How the Word is Passed, in which Clint Smith speculated about how different the country could be if we confronted and addressed our past sins instead of trying to find ways to evade any sense of responsibility.    Rebecca Hall is doing exhaustive and groundbreaking work, and we’re so lucky that she decided to give us a glimpse into her process in this book. // You can purchase signed hardcovers of Wake: The Hidden History of Women-Led Slave Revolts from our @instagram, @facebook, @shopify, @tiktok, @librofm (audiobook) or @pinterest stores.

Reposted from @cultivatedreads Wake • by Rebecca Hall

Okay, so first let me say that the subtitle of this book is ‘The hidden history of women-led slave revolts’ but it’s largely about Dr. Hall’s experiences researching this topic.

Why? Because centuries of sexism and racial capitalism have colluded to erase Black women’s resistance against state violence. Hall documents the lack of archives on our history and the intentional hiding of history by companies that still exist (looking at you @lloydsoflondon).

I really enjoyed reading Wake. It was interesting to learn about Dr. Hall’s research and I thought the art (swipe for an example) was simple but powerful.

It was a quick and interesting read and I highly recommend this book.
