Sarah Bird: Juneteenth Rodeo
Long before Juneteenth became America’s newest federal holiday (ca. 2021), Black rodeos celebrated the holiday in East Texas. Bestselling Austin author Sarah Bird’s new book combines archival photos with essays by Bird and sports historian Demetrius Pearson, exploring the oft-overlooked history of these rodeos. Hear from Bird at back-to-back author events: a High Noon Talk at Bullock Museum Wednesday and a conversation and signing at Central Library Thursday, 7pm. – Kat McNevins
