Aha, ok - thank you so much. English is not my language, I'm Swedish so even though I'm quite fluent in English I don't know all of your ... what's it called - abbreviations perhaps? I appreciate your help <3

Juneteenth is the US holiday that celebrates the end of slavery / emancipation of African-Americans. I was going to state African-American, but wanted the task to be open to authors and characters that weren't necessarily American.

Yes, when it comes to authors it's people of colour/color.
Right now I don't know how many, but am going to start with 1 because for sure I'm reading a book that has Red in the title. Also, I'm reading a novel by Barbara Kingsolver and she usually has environment/nature, etc stuff due to her background.3/3
