Confederate Monuments Come Down; 'Miss Juneteenth' Star Nicole Beharie

Another Confederate monument came down on Thursday night in the town square of an Atlanta suburb. Clemson University history professor Vernon Burton joins us to discuss how these monuments have become flashpoints in the protests against racial injustice and police brutality, following the killing of George Floyd. And, actress Nicole Beharie joins us to discuss her new film, "Miss Juneteenth." The film follows a former winner of the Miss Juneteenth pageant who sets her hopes on her daughter winning the crown. That and more, in hour two of Here & Now's June 19, 2020, full broadcast.
