On this edition of Your Call, we discuss the real history of Juneteenth. University of Texas at Austin Professor Peniel Joseph says the story we've been told is wrong. The real history is much messier and more inspiring. In an essay for the Texas Monthly, he writes, "All of us, no matter our politics, tend to reduce and oversimplify the historical record. Reality is messier and more nuanced. One of Juneteenth’s most important lessons is that history is about not just the country’s triumphs but more often the relentless struggle necessary to achieve a more perfect union."
