Published: March 10, 2022, 2 p.m.

b'I think we\\u2019ve all had the experience of running across a childhood toy, or a photograph, or having a conversation with a childhood friend who makes you think of ANOTHER childhood friend who hasn\\u2019t popped into your head in a long time. That happened to me recently, and after a bit of sleuthing, I found him, and we reconnected after 55 years. Ed Cotham is a really interesting guy for a lot of reasons\\u2014one of which is that he wrote the very first book about the history and meaning of Juneteenth. But that\\u2019s just the beginning of his story. Have a listen.'
