The story we’ve been told about Juneteenth is wrong

Published 1 week, 1 day ago
Description

Our team is off today for Juneteenth. But we are bringing you something special in place of our usual daily show: a narrated News+ article from Texas Monthly that we are making free for everyone.

An award-winning historian and professor takes us back to 1865 to tell the true story of Juneteenth. A story that’s been oversimplified over the years, but in reality is much messier — and much more inspiring — than you might know.

Subscribers to Apple News+ can get narrated articles like this one every day. Your News+ subscription also includes access to more than 500 publications, 100,000 recipes, premium local news, exclusive daily puzzles, and more. Click here to start a free trial today.
