MINNESOTA MORNINGS AFTER: SARAH JACKSON
from Made In Minnesota · host Ingstad Media
Juneteenth is one of those days a lot of people recognize, but not everyone knows the full story behind it. Sarah Jackson helps us dig into that story: what happened in Texas on June 19, 1865, why the news of freedom came so late, how Black communities kept the celebration alive for generations, and why Juneteenth still carries so much weight today. Sarah’s work focuses on race, media, history, and the way stories shape how we understand America. This conversation is thoughtful, eye-opening, and a good reminder that history is never just “back then.” It’s still talking to us.
