Free at Last: A Juneteenth Poem
Sojourner Kincaid Rolle
Free at Last is a free-verse celebration of Juneteenth that reaches across centuries of Black American history. It centers on June 19, 1865, when people held in bondage in the United States were liberated. The poem recalls generations shaped by forced bondage and follows the opening of new paths after freedom. Alex Bostic’s illustrations accompany a historical account that looks to Juneteenth as a national holiday marked by hope, joy, and remembrance.
