As well, the challenges people have during the planning and preparing for celebrations. So, she wants the cousins to claim these rights for themselves and an even younger generation.Įxtension Ideas: This is a good book to talk about how African American families were discriminated against, what their fears were, how they were lied to and kept ignorant of the law that enforced anti-discrimination of African American people. A good short story that depicts an African American family whose trials through their dilemma being bought and sold as slaves, will allow the next generation new opportunities that she herself will never live long enough to experience. Review: A beautiful book with matt finish illustrations. Eventually, June and her cousin relate to these problems when Lillie sees a water fountain with a sign stating, "Whites Only", this opens up the reasoning for the celebration "Juneteenth". The great aunt remembers the problems she and her sister went through, to the current celebration the family is preparing to go to. This is contrary to what Lillie understands freedom to represent. It is told by June, a little girl whose visiting cousin Lillie, learns that different geographical places consider "Freedom" as a term that means freedom from bondage of masters.
