Monday 🌒 Juneteenth OT

Good evening. Hope this day worked out in your favor. Which book is this image from? I believe this is from the first twenty pages or so.

Gordon Parks, Untitled, Harlem, New York, 1952.

Answer here.

And this is a quote from the author's second novel, never completed, but assembled by John F. Callahan in 1999, from over 1100 pages pared down to around 370. A sermon about Juneteenth by Daddy Hickman:

Never mind the laughers, the scoffers—they come around because they can’t help themselves. They can deny you but not your sense of life. . . . Just keep on inching along like an old inchworm. If you put one and one and one together soon they’ll make a million too. There’s been a heap of Juneteenths before this one and I tell you there’ll be a heap more before we’re truly free!

How was your day?
