Author of “Juneteenth 101: Popular Myths and Forgotten Facts”
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
Live discussions of Juneteenth 101 are available for large and small groups. A variety of options are available including engaging lectures, Q&A discussions, and research workshops (for small groups only.) A display of research material is available primarily for schools that prefer a come-and-go event.
All presentations are intended to correct misinformation about Juneteenth. For greatest impact, audiences should have a basic awareness of Juneteenth. These presentations are not recommended for children.
