About this episode

Who’s to blame for Texas’s Delayed Emancipation: Juneteenth?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes comedian Brandon Collins, host of the podcast Drunk Black History, to discuss the egregiously delayed freedom of formerly enslaved people in Texas after the Emancipation Proclamation, aka Juneteenth. They’re joined by Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early. America’s newest federal holiday, what is Juneteenth and why has it received such little attention until relatively recently? Tune in and learn about this great injustice in American history. And if you’re in Brooklyn, join our guest Brandon for a Juneteenth Celebration live Drunk Black History show here!
