[link removed] [[link removed]] Tune in for a new episode of Ms. magazine's podcast, On the Issues with Michele Goodwin on
Apple Podcasts [[link removed]] + Spotify [[link removed]] .
In this episode, Dr. Goodwin is joined by Ann Grundy to celebrate Juneteenth—which comes at a fraught moment in U.S. history. In 2023, Juneteenth comes with vestiges of the past, as book bans targeting queer, Black and Indigenous authors sweep the nation. Dr. Goodwin and Grundy remind us that these bans aren’t just attacks on critical race theory or women’s studies. They’re attacks on democracy and the First Amendment itself.
