“The work is a truthful and trustworthy account that forces us to face the harsh realities of history. Dr. Taylor leaves no stone unturned, offering invaluable insights and showing how our ancestors made “a way out of no way.” In a time when DEI is under threat, this book constructs the necessary pieces of our colorful and vibrant history.”

“Your book is amazing! It was a journey through the Black experience, and I especially learned more about ancient African history. You did a tremendous amount of research, and I appreciate your carefully citing your sources. Beautifully written! Insightful. Expansive. Profound. Eye-opening. A must read for everyone! I highly recommend this book for librarians. If you’re interested in a comprehensive history about Juneteenth and Black history, you won’t find a better manuscript. Ensure that Juneteenth: The promise of Freedom is available in your library collection!”
Dr. Jessica Wicks-Allen
“Centering the experiences and perspectives of Black people, Dr. Taylor situates Juneteenth within a broader, ongoing struggle for Black freedom while challenging Eurocentric narratives of Black history. This inspiring work honors the countless contributions of African-descended people across history and illuminates why the fight for liberation remains vital today. “
