Consider using this pause on travel to start drafting the plans for your most epic travel experience, the one you’ve been putting off, daydreaming about for years. I’ve got a handful of destinations that are perfect for anyone wanting a post-pandemic adventure that takes you off the beaten path and away from crowds of tourists.

A Brief History of Juneteenth Day
Today is a time for reconciliation and self-education. So today, I will be giving you a brief history of what I believe to be the second most important day in American history, a day that never should have had to become a marked occasion, and one that was both long overdue, and incomplete. I give you a bit of background on the Emancipation Proclamation, the foundation of Juneteenth Day, and talk a bit about life for the enslaved immediately after June 19, 1865.

And the books I mention in the episode are:
1) We are not yet equal, Understanding Our Racial Divide” by Carol Anderson and Tonya Bolden
2) Killing the Black Body: Race, Reproduction and the Meaning of Liberty by Dorothy Roberts
3) How to be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi
These are just a FEW of the MANY excellent books on racism against the African American community
