In this episode, I will do a reading of abolitionist Fredick Douglass' Speech, "What Does the 4th of July mean to a Negro?" Let's contrast that with President Trump's remarks in Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, on land the US Supreme Court acknowledged in 1980 was promised to the Sioux Indians and then stolen from them by the US Government. We are also going to talk about how far the Commonwealth of Virginia has come since 1861 when it seceded, and Richmond was the Capital of the Confederacy. We're still dealing with a worldwide pandemic, and 11 states including Florida have shattered daily records; we'll talk about that. MD is debating options for November's election. And the Trump administration is supposed to release data, maybe, next week on the Paycheck Protection Program, which helps small businesses dealing with COVID-19. We will see if they come through. Stay safe everyone.
