Ep. 2: Juneteenth Is Not The Fourth Of July (Plus: Ex-Slave Narrative)

In this episode of "News With Nicola" we take a look at Juneteenth becoming a new federal holiday. We also briefly take a look at Republican dissent to the bill — apparently celebrating the end of slavery is "unAmerican." And we wrap things up by listening to a few snippets of an archival interview with a formerly enslaved woman from Texas who comments on the first Juneteenth and what church was like for enslaved African Americans.
