The Backstory: The Grandmother of Juneteenth
from The Backstory with Patty Steele · host Elvis Duran Podcast Network and iHeartPodcasts
An angry mob vandalizes a new home and then burns it to the ground. A young family barely escapes. Now 85 years later, after a lifetime of public service, the oldest daughter, now 97, moves back to that same piece of land, where another new home has been built as a gift from the community. It’s the full-circle life story of the Grandmother of Juneteenth, America’s second Independence Day. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
