## Resource

Today is Juneteenth, and we're bringing you special programming all day long to honor the holiday and reflect on its meaning. Don sits down with media mogul, producer, comedian, and philanthropist Byron Allen for a powerful conversation about the legacy of slavery, the economic systems that have perpetuated inequality, and why Juneteenth remains as important as ever. They also discuss the power of media ownership and why it's essential for Black communities to tell their own stories rather than allowing others to define their image.
