Summary
Don sits down with Yusef Jackson, President and CEO of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, for a powerful conversation about the true meaning of Juneteenth and why its lessons are more urgent than ever. Jackson reflects on the long struggle for freedom, reminds us that power never concedes without a fight, and warns that rights once won can also be taken away. From economic racism to the ongoing fight for equality, he explains why the freedoms so many Americans enjoy today were built on the sacrifices and courage of Black Americans during the Civil Rights Movement.
