dc.description.abstractJune 19th. The present. A large Colonial house that was home to several generations of the Jackson family, in Houston’s historic third ward. It is June 19th. Olivia Brunson, a Chicago-based young physician and rising star in medicine, returns to her childhood home in Houston. Her Grandma Rose, who raised her, has died. Grandma Rose specified that her memorial service would be on June 19th. The date is of special meaning to the family. It is Juneteenth, which in 1865, was the day that enslaved people learned of the Emancipation Proclamation. It is also the day that Olivia’s great-great-great grandfather, Charles Jackson, and four fellow physicians opened the Houston Hospital for Negroes, now called the Bank Street Memorial Hospital.en_US
