Reading Level: 4th − 5th Grade

Una niña, que acaba de mudarse a la ciudad natal de sus padres, se da cuenta de que ha vuelto a casa después de la celebración de la emancipación afroamericana de Juneteenth.

Es un buen día en junio. La familia de Cassandra acaba de mudarse de la ciudad a la ciudad natal de sus padres en Texas. A Cassie le gusta su nueva casa y su nueva escuela está bien, pero Texas todavía no se siente como en casa. Lo que Cassie no sabe es que su familia tiene una sorpresa para ella: una tradición de Texas. Mientras ayuda a preparar el pastel de terciopelo rojo, el pollo frito y montones de otros platos, se pregunta qué hace que el 19 de junio sea tan importante. No es hasta que Cassie y su familia llegan al centro que descubre de qué se trata la conmoción. Y, en el proceso, se da cuenta de que ella y su familia efectivamente han regresado a casa.
