Juneteenth at Grant Cottage

 

(Reginald Adams with his mural in Galveston, Texas)

My friend Steve Trimm (portraying Grant) and I will be doing a program at Grant Cottage on Monday. That's June 19 -- Juneteenth -- which will be the focus of our presentations. My PowerPoint lecture (with Q&A) will be more about Gordon Granger than this essay I wrote and posted here last year, but along the same general lines. Steve's presentation is at noon, mine at 1 p.m. See here:
