Have you ever wondered how one event in history shaped who you are today? For many of us, the first celebrations of Juneteenth more than 150 years ago continue to inspire faith, courage, and hope of generations—and speak into what’s possible for our future. With this special Best of Where Ya From? episode, we are revisiting the conversation with late author and historian Dr. Carey Latimore. Join us in reflecting on his conversation sharing the legacy of Juneteenth, and how God’s freedom remains active and alive throughout all of history. 


Guest Bio:

A testament to how a life can be shaped by generosity, optimism, and unshakable faith, Dr. Carey H. Latimore IV served as an associate professor of history and co-director of the African American studies program at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. In addition to his long list of accolades and accomplishments during his 18 years at Trinity, Dr. Latimore also served as an associate pastor of his local church and was frequently invited to serve as a commentator and consultant on current topics such as race, land ownership, political identity, and religion for local and state media and organizations.  


During his time as a leading contributor to the VOICES collection at Our Daily Bread Ministries, Dr. Latimore authored the book Unshakable Faith, and served as special guest on the award-winning documentary, Juneteenth: Faith and Freedom


Dr. Latimore went home to be with the Lord on July 26th, 2022, leaving behind a legacy of community, ministry, and celebrating God as the author of freedom for all past, present, and future generations.


Notes & Quotes:

  • When I felt that I was worthless, I felt that [God] loved me, and that He had never left me or forsaken me. 
  • “When one group becomes free, we all become freer.” 
  • “And so my faith impacts the way that I look at history and the questions that I bring. My historical training impacts the way that I read and interpret the Bible. I believe that the Scripture is God-bound and that it is inspired word of God. But I’'m not going to lie, I read it as a historical text too.” 
  • Juneteenth is a stone as a memorial, and they took it and they never forgot it. And then the feeling of God being invested in our liberation, and that God cares about us enough that in His time, His place, that this has happened.
