Reclaiming the Black cowboy for Juneteenth

Listen Later

For many, the image of a cowboy is a white man in the American West. But the original cowboys were Black and Latino, and this year some Black cowboys are using Juneteenth as an opportunity to reclaim their history.

  • Plus, House Democrats try to squeeze the GOP on abortion.
  • And, the Supreme Court rules to preserve a Native American adoption law.

    • Guests: Axios' Russell Contreras and Mike Allen.
