Ask an Old White Woman
About Racial Justice
A blog by Kesa Kivel
Blog Post #8: “Juneteenth! Why Did It Take So Long for Enslaved Texans to Be Freed?”
The name of the holiday Juneteenth is a combination of the words “June” and “nineteenth.”
Post #1: “Why Don’t You Ask Another White Person About This, Instead of Burdening Me?”
Who am I? Kesa Kivel — an old white woman working for racial justice! The purpose of this blog series is to help other white people, and myself as well, to learn about different racial issues and to follow through on our new awareness by becoming antiracism activists.
