Texas Standard for June 19, 2015
It’s commemorated across the U.S., but it got its start here in Texas 150 years ago today: Juneteenth, and a day of celebration overshadowed by tragedy. Today, a call for a 21st century civil rights movement. Also: The president’s vision for a coal free power grid. How close is Texas to meeting his goals? Closer than you might think. And: As a new Pixar blockbuster heads for the big screen, we’ll do our best to turn the premise “Inside Out”. All that, plus the week in Texas politics and lots more on the Standard.
