In this country men can be born and live well and die without ever having to feel much of what makes their ease possible, just because so much is buried under all of this black and white mess that in their ignorance some folks accept it as a natural condition. . . .
Here is the June #roaringwolf challenge prompts! As a reminder to participate tag both of us in a review that meets the prompt to be entered in our monthly drawing. Life got crazy over here so we will be posting our last few months winners soon! Happy reading! @LitsyEvents @Littlewolf1
pickI read this when I was a junior in high school. I thought I didn‘t remember any of it, but I actually remembered multiple parts of it. This is such an important novel both literarily and socially. This could be such a conversation starter. Sadly, there were no conversations about this book in my junior English class. This is another of those books that should absolutely be required reading.

I read this in high school for a research paper. I remember exactly none of it. I‘m excited to spend some time with this classic this week.

Today is the day: Juneteenth. “Words of Emancipation didn't arrive until the middle of June so they called it Juneteenth. So that was it, the night of Juneteenth celebration, his mind went on." -- Ralph Ellison
Happy Juneteenth (observed) U.S. Littens!
I got to work this morning (because it‘s already Friday in Japan) and was happily told to go home.
I‘m going to spend this unexpected day off reading about the history of the Emancipation Proclamation & Juneteenth.
