SEGMENT A (14:30)
1.) JUNETEENTH AND THE FOODWAYS OF THE BLACK ATLANTIC: African Americans celebrate their ancestors’ emancipation from slavery on June 19th, a holiday known as Juneteenth. On that day, families gather to picnic and cook out across the South and beyond. The voyage from Africa isn’t often on people’s minds, but it is in their stomachs. Living on Earth’s Ike Sriskandarajah digs into the green foodways of the Black Atlantic. (7:35)
2.) ONE IN FIVE DEATHS FROM FOSSIL FUELS: Fine particulate matter produced from fossil fuel combustion is known to cause numerous health issues, and a study found that this pollution is responsible for one in five early deaths worldwide. Pediatrician Aaron Bernstein, who is the interim director of the Center for Climate, Health and the Global Environment at Harvard, joins Host Steve Curwood to discuss the implications of the research. (6:20)
Segment A ends @ 20:59 with announcer OC:  ...Sailors for the Sea dot org.

SEGMENT B (18:00)
1.) REDLINING LINKED WITH EXTREME URBAN HEAT: In the 1930s, while the world was digging out of the Great Depression, the US government came up with a plan to rate neighborhoods based on their presumed suitability to receive home loans. The neighborhoods that the government, and banks, considered riskiest were outlined in red. These “redlined” neighborhoods tended to be in city centers and home to black Americans. Today as climate change exacerbates urban heat, they’re experiencing much higher temperatures than surrounding areas. Vivek Shandas is a lead author of the research and speaks with Living on Earth’s Bobby Bascomb about the unequal impacts of racist ‘redlining’ practices. (10:40)
2.) WHY I WEAR JORDANS IN THE GREAT OUTDOORS: Stereotypes about who can be “outdoorsy” tend to leave people of color out, so environmental educator CJ Goulding actively and creatively works to encourage young people of color to feel that they belong in the outdoors, too. CJ Goulding speaks with Host Steve Curwood about how his Air Jordan “Bred” 11 sneakers help him link young people of color to the great outdoors. (7:00)
Segment B ends @ 39:59 with announcer OC: .... aerospace, building industries, and food refrigeration.

FARMING WHILE BLACK: SOUL FIRE FARM’S PRACTICAL GUIDE TO LIBERATION ON THE LAND: Soul Fire Farm in upstate New York is dedicated to not only growing food, but also cultivating environmental, racial and food justice. Its ten black, brown and Jewish farmers aim to dismantle racism within the food system while reconnecting people of color to the earth. Leah Penniman is the co-founder of Soul Fire Farm and joins Host Steve Curwood to discuss her new book, Farming While Black: Soul Fire Farm's Practical Guide to Liberation on the Land, and her journey as a person of color reclaiming her space in the agricultural world. (16:35)
