Who

Donald J. Norman-Cox is the author of “Juneteenth 101: Popular Myths and Forgotten Facts”, and a Public Historian based in Denton, Texas. Since the early 1980s, he has organized youth-oriented events and services that promote awareness and appreciation for African American history.

Norman-Cox holds degrees in Music Education, Student Personnel Services, and Counseling. His talents and creativity have produced a wealth of projects including literary and coloring books (some are available in the Juneteenth University store), musical arrangements, board games, etc.

Cox’s passionate interest in Juneteenth began with a question jokingly asked of college students: “How did news of the proclamation get from Louisiana to New Mexico without going through Texas?” That inquiry prompted extensive research that resulting in the publication Juneteenth 101: Popular Myths and Forgotten Facts.

What

A variety of options are available including engaging lectures, Q&A discussions, and research workshops (for small groups only.)
