All Different Now: Juneteenth, the First Day of Freedom by Angela Johnson
5.0
"I'd love to know how my great-grandparents celebrated when told they were free. But that tale has been lost to time, so I can only hope that this one will do." -- from the Author's Note.
A beautiful text to use and study in an American history class. While textbooks fail to stir the imagination or any sort of emotion, a book like this will bring history alive. Don't miss the backmatter at the end. That's what makes this book such a worthy addition to any social studies teacher's classroom library.
