Description

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.
