Loeb University Professor at Harvard, is a historian and author of On Juneteenth, a blend of memoir and history. In the book, she explores her family's deep roots in Texas, dating back to the 1820s and 1850s, and connects their story to the broader history of Juneteenth. She details how General Gordon Granger announced the end of slavery in Texas on June 19, 1865, months after the Civil War had effectively ended. Gordon-Reed highlights the mixed reactions to this event—jubilation among the formerly enslaved and resentment among former enslavers. She emphasizes that while Juneteenth marked the end of legalized slavery, it also signified the beginning of the ongoing struggle for Black rights in America. The book was published around the time Juneteenth became a national holiday, reinforcing its significance as both a family story and a milestone in human rights.\n
