  • A crowd listens to the annual reading of the Emancipation Proclamation by local officials at a ceremony for Juneteenth, a Texas holiday that commemorates the day in 1865 when slaves were told by a Union General in occupied Galveston that the Emancipation Proclamation, written two years earlier by Abraham Lincoln, had set them free.

  • On July 7th, just outside of Blair, West Virginia, James Weekly, the last resident of Pigeon Holler, is visited by a friend. James, a former coal miner, refuses to sell his land to mining companies, which are seeking to strip mine the mountain to remove billions of dollars worth of coal. Blair Mountain is a historical site because of a 1921 battle between union coal miners and hired company guns, but the state of West Virginia, under pressure from coal companies, has refused to list the mountain as an historical site to be preserved.
