In honor of Juneteenth, our newest federal holiday, this special episode in our “The Mo You Know” series takes a look at the history of the day and what it symbolizes. 

While it was celebrated locally in Texas and other states for years, it was only officially made a federal holiday in June 2021. It is seen as a second Independence Day of sorts for many Black Americans who didn't actually get their freedom with the founding of the country.

Here are some resources for additional information about the holiday.

We take a deep dive into the state of our oceans and the planet with award-winning photographers Cristina Mittermeier and Paul Nicklen.  

Paul and ‘Mitty’ are incredible storytellers who have traveled to the far reaches of the globe and below our oceans to capture amazing imagery. They are also the co-founders of SeaLegacy—an organization using the power of media and storytelling to amplify ocean solutions. 

In this edition, they discuss what they are seeing through their lenses—the impact of climate change on the environment, their recent work and what we can all do to help. Mitty also breaks down how our planet depends on the ocean and why whales are our best friends in saving the planet. She explains how they help take CO2 out of the atmosphere through what they poop.
