Special guests featured on tonight's RadioACTive's Summer Break:

Azra Basic of The County Library with #3QuickPicks for Juneteenth:

  • The Autobiography of Malcolm X: As Told to Alex Haley stands as the definitive statement of a movement and a man whose work was never completed but whose message is timeless. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand America.
  • On Juneteenth by Annette Gordon-Reed provides a historian's view of the country's long road to end slavery, recounting both its origins in Texas and the enormous hardships that African-Americans have endured in the century since, from Reconstruction through Jim Crow and beyond. 
  • Juneteenth for Mazie by Floyd Cooper. Mazie is ready to celebrate liberty. She is ready to celebrate a great day in American history. The day her ancestors were no longer slaves. Mazie remembers the struggles and the triumph, as she gets ready to celebrate Juneteenth. 

For more ideas on how to celebrate this important holiday, visit www.slcolibrary.org/events and explore Juneteenth festivities. Events include a story time for kids celebrating Black authors, traditional Juneteenth foods with the Taste of Louisiana food truck, and an evening with reggae music from Natural Roots. All of Azra’s Juneteenth picks are available through The County Library catalog.

  • Aug. 19: SPAYghetti TO-GO, 7:00 p.m. online. SAVE THE DATE. “The night of, tune into our Facebook Feed and check out our auction items at slcoanimalservices.cbo.io. Grab your 4-legged or 2-legged BFF and get ready for a fun hour of entertainment to raise money for our low-income spay/neuter programming at the shelter. Covid-19 may have changed the way we gather for our annual gala, SPAYghetti & No Balls, but it hasn’t stopped the need for low-cost spay/neuters in our community. If anything, pet owners in our community need our help more than ever. Interested in being a SPONSOR or donating an in-kind item for the silent auction? Email jjohanson@slco.org. “
