We as a society are progressing in some areas and regressing in others. This odd push and pull, this mixture of emotions, the simultaneous holding of desperate thoughts seems to be heightened now as much as ever. In this episode, we begin to process the historic milestone of Juneteenth becoming a national holiday, the painful history that it reminds us of, and the repeating of ugly 20th century history emerging in this 21st year of the 21st-century.
