On Thursday, June 3 at 7pm EST, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian, Annette Gordon-Reed comes to The Music Hall's virtual stage as part of the Innovation + Leadership series, now being presented in an intimate, online format. Gordon-Reed will discuss her new book, ON JUNETEENTH, the essential sweeping story of Juneteenth's integral importance to American history and the ongoing fight for equality.
"I'm thrilled to be serving as the event's moderator, bridging my work in discussing the connections between black expressive culture and freedom movements and events with Gordon-Reed's research on these topics," says Dr. Reginald A. Wilburn, associate professor at UNH and the evening's moderator, "I'm looking forward to connecting with her virtually to discuss Juneteenth and the importance of racial justice in America today."
