Juneteenth is Ralph Ellison's second novel, published posthumously in 1999 as a 368-page condensation of over 2000 pages written by him over a period of forty years.
 It was originally written without any real organization, and Ellison's longtime friend, biographer and critic John F. Callahan put the novel together, editing it in the way he thought Ellison would want it to be written.
Ralph Waldo Ellison (March 1, 1913 – April 16, 1994) was an American novelist, literary critic, and scholar.
 Ellison is best known for his novel "Invisible Man", which won the National Book Award in 1953.
 He also wrote "Shadow and Act" (1964), a collection of political, social and critical essays, and "Going to the Territory" (1986).
 For "The New York Times", the best of these essays in addition to the novel put him "among the gods of America's literary Parnassus."
 A posthumous novel, "Juneteenth", was published after being assembled from voluminous notes he left after his death.
Three Days Before the Shooting... is the title of the edited manuscript of Ralph Ellison's never-finished second novel.
 It was co-edited by John F. Callahan, the executor of Ellison's literary estate, and Adam Bradley, a professor of English at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
 The book was published January 26, 2010 by Modern Library.
 An excerpt of Ralph Ellison's unfinished manuscripts was previously published as "Juneteenth".

Black existentialism or Africana critical theory is a school of thought that "critiques domination and affirms the empowerment of Black people in the world".
 Although it shares a word with existentialism and that philosophy's concerns with existence and meaning in life, it "is predicated on the liberation of all black people in the world from oppression".
 It may also be seen as method, which allows one to read works by African-American writers such as W. E. B. Du Bois, James Baldwin, and Ralph Ellison in an existentialist frame.
 Lewis Gordon argues that black existentialism is not only existential philosophy produced by black philosophers but is also thought that addresses the intersection of problems of existence in black contexts.
Irving Petlin (born December 17, 1934 in Chicago, Illinois) is an American artist and painter renowned for his mastery of the pastel medium and collaborations with other artists (including Mark di Suvero and Leon Golub) and for his work in the "series form" in which he uses the raw material of pastel, oil paint and unprimed linen, and finds inspiration in the work of writers and poets including Primo Levi, Bruno Schulz, Paul Celan, Michael Palmer and Edmond Jabès.
John F. Callahan is literary executor for Ralph Ellison, and was the editor for his posthumously-released novel "Juneteenth".

William Gardner Smith (February 6, 1927 – November 5, 1974) was an American journalist, novelist, and editor.
 Smith is linked to the black social protest novel tradition of the 1940s and the 1950s, a movement that became synonymous with writers such as Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison, Willard Motley, and Ann Petry.
 Smith's third book, "South Street" (1954), is considered to be one of the first black militant protest novels.
 His last published novel, "The Stone Face" (1963), in its account of the Paris massacre of 1961, "stand[s] as one of the few representations of the event available all the way up until the early 1990s".
