520    "Juneteenth has been touted as a national day celebrating 
       the end of slavery. Observances from coast to coast have 
       turned this event into part of the national conversation 
       about race, slavery, and how Americans understand, 
       acknowledge, and explain what has been called the national
       'original sin.' But, why Juneteenth? Where did this 
       celebration--which promises to become a national holiday--
       come from? What is the origin story? What are the facts, 
       and legends, around this important day in the nation's 
       history? This is the first scholarly book to delve into 
       the history behind Juneteenth. Using decades of research 
       in archives around the nation, this book helps separate 
       myth from reality and tells the story behind the 
       celebration in a way that provides new understanding and 
       appreciation for the event."--Jacket
