Description

America celebrates its newest federal holiday: Juneteenth. Commemorating the day that enslaved African-Americans were informed of their freedom two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation, Juneteenth celebrates the end of slavery and acknowledges the work left to be done in the road to racial justice. CNBC reporter Frank Holland details the role of Black banks in achieving financial inclusion and economic equality in the United States. Darrin Williams, CEO of Southern Bancorp, one of the few Black-led banks in the country, discusses the significance of Juneteenth and how corporate investments can help communities of color achieve financial equity. New research suggests that Covid-19 may cause long-term loss of brain tissue. Former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb considers lasting physiological effects of the virus and whether a survival of global variants will prompt a case surge in the autumn. Plus, commodity prices are tumbling and cruise line stocks are soaring.
