Black Agenda Radio · Black Agenda Radio June 21, 2024

In this week’s segment, we hear about Galveston County, Texas, where the events commemorated in the Juneteenth celebration began, and a lawsuit by Black and Latino residents who have been deprived of representation by the redrawing of an electoral district map. Also, New York State fails to adequately enforce its own rules to provide oversight of jails and prisons, such as the notorious Rikers Island facility. And Margaret Kimberley has thoughts about Juneteenth. But first, we learn about how the media instigated the Tulsa massacre of 1921, an atrocity from which survivors have still been denied reparations and restitution.
