Juneteenth stories (June 19, 2025)

On Thursday’s show: We celebrate Juneteenth with a number of stories, including how the chair of Juneteenth Houston first learned about the holiday — and how that discovery sparked a deeper mission: a multi-year archival project to preserve the rich history of Juneteenth celebrations in the city.

We also learn how the Buffalo Soldiers National Museum is honoring the role Buffalo Soldiers played in Juneteenth — and why this moment matters more than ever.

Then, we revisit a conversation about a documentary detailing the journey of a newly-emancipated man who sought out his family.
