Synopsis: Today on Sojourner Truth, our weekly roundtable. Our panelists are Laura Carlsen, Jackie Goldberg and Dr. Gerald Horne.

Juneteenth is now a national holiday. A step forward, many say. But is it also an opportunity for Republicans who voted for it to hide their ongoing attempts to chip away at the hard-fought rights of Black people. What about the attempts to suppress and in some cases criminalize the teaching of Black and Brown history in schools and universities across the United States?

Battles continue in Washington, D.C. around the right to vote. The For the People Act is in some trouble, as well as the George Floyd police reform bill. What happened after so-named Emancipation, including the First Reconstruction and its destruction? Is a Third Reconstruction needed?

The Supreme Court has made some controversial rulings and the much-anticipated Putin-Biden summit is over. Our panelists give their thoughts on what came out of it, as well as what came out of the G7 meetings and their wider implications.

Also, the latest on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict as well as recent elections in Chile and Peru.
