Dallas, TX: Celebrate Juneteenth at the Texas Black Invitational Rodeo: Oneika Raymond makes her way to Dallas, Texas on Juneteenth weekend for the legendary 33rd Annual Texas Black Invitational Rodeo to get to know Black cowboy culture and history, a part of the American story that often goes untold. From galloping horses and the hoots and hollers of the more than 300 competing Black cowboys and cowgirls to the reverential sound of the Black National Anthem performed by Dallas local Angel White, we take you behind the scenes of one of the most popular rodeo events around. We’ll hear from Charles Hearn, the great-grandson of Cleo Hearn, also known as Mr. Black Rodeo, who founded the Cowboys of Color in 1971. He shares how he’s carrying forward his family’s legacy and shaping the new Black West. But first, we’ll make a stop at the African American Museum of Dallas to take a look back.

The Legacy of Black Wall Street: June marks the 100th anniversary of the 1921 Tulsa Massacre -- one of the worst incidents of racial violence in US history, claiming the lives of 300 African-Americans living, working, and thriving in a neighborhood known as Black Wall Street. After a white mob prompted two days of deadly violence, the events were largely forgotten for decades. A century later, in the wake of 2020’s racial justice protests and George Floyd’s murder, survivors of the massacre shared their experience with Congress. CNBC’s Frank Holland reports from Tulsa, Oklahoma, reflecting on those survivor testimonies and the legacy of Black Wall Street. In a conversation about Black representation in finance and beyond, BET Founder and RLJ Companies founder Robert Johnson considers the impact--and the intention--of businesses pledging money and support to the Black community. by Squawk Pod
