If, for so many years,
you could not
dress
or sing
or celebrate the way you wished,
how would you feel when
freedom finally came?Oh, how you would dance!
With lyrical text from award-winning author Anne Wynter and radiant artwork from Caldecott Honor artist Jerome Pumphrey, this poetic picture book explores the roots of Juneteenth's jubilation. So Many Years acknowledges the history of slavery in the United states as it also celebrates the astonishing Black resilience that has led to an enduring legacy of Black joy.
