June 19th, or Juneteenth, is observed by many Americans as the day in 1865 the last slaves in America were told that the Civil War had ended and that they were now free. But this year, strikes and protests may accompany barbecues and celebrations amid a national uprising to demand racial justice. Plus, as global protests continue to confront years of inequality and systemic racism, Dr. Scott Ellsworth, a professor in the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies at the University of Michigan discusses one of the most violent race-related issues in American History. And Augusta University professor Craig Albert shares his thoughts on the White House's move to block John Bolton's new book about serving in the Trump Administration.
