Juneteenth

Posted on June 19, 2008 | Comments Off on Juneteenth

Woke up this morning with the words to the gospel tune Way Up In The Middle of The Air running through my mind’s ear. Also, which I had forgotten but Google reminded me, a longish short story in Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles. Then I realized it was Juneteenth and I knew the significance of it. Gordon Granger knew what he was doing. He just didn’t know all of it.

    It was a good story and rather a pedestrian review you have linked to, to my taste. Yes, the old man is a bit of a pessimist sometimes. But so what?

    It was early and I wasn’t feeling very discriminating. Not sure which old man you mean. If the ex-slave in the slave narrative, well, yes, but slavery would tend to do that.
