EHG: Author Sarah Bird - Juneteenth Rodeo

Find the slides for this presentation here: https://tinyurl.com/2bkrr9fc On the second Monday of each month, join fellow history buffs at Westbank Library in learning about, sharing, and celebrating the heritage of the Eanes area, greater Austin, and Texas history. This month, we were joined by award-winning writer Sarah Bird. She discussed her latest non-fiction book, Juneteenth Rodeo: Let’s Go! Let’s Show! Let’s Rodeo! In Juneteenth Rodeo, Sarah’s camera lens captures everything—from the moment the pit master fired up his smoker, through the death-defying rides, to the last celebratory dance at a nearby honky-tonk. Published by the University of Texas Press in June 2024, it is available at most major booksellers. Many of Sarah’s books, including Juneteenth Rodeo, can be found in the library catalog. Sarah Bird was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and grew up traveling the world with her U.S. Air Force family. She earned a BA from the University of New Mexico and an MA in journalism from the University of Texas at Austin. Now based in Austin, Texas, with her husband, son, and their beloved corgi, she is a bestselling author, screenwriter, and regular columnist for Texas Monthly. Bird began her career writing features for Third Coast magazine and published her first novel, Do Evil Cheerfully, in 1983. She later adapted The Boyfriend School into the film Don’t Tell Her It’s Me and has written screenplays for CBS, Paramount, National Geographic, and Hallmark. A veteran of the Meryl Streep/Oprah Winfrey Screenwriters’ Lab, Bird has also contributed to The New York Times Magazine, O: The Oprah Magazine, The Daily Beast, and NPR’s The Moth Radio Hour.
