COVER STORY: Juneteenth: America’s second Independence DayOn June 19, 1865, more than two years after President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, Union Gen. Gordon Granger announced in Galveston that all enslaved people in Texas were now free. The day would become commemorated as Juneteenth, but for the now-free African Americans, the future was uncertain. CBS News’ Mark Whitaker takes a personal journey to Jewett, Texas, where his great-grandfather became a free man, and meets with relatives for whom Juneteenth has taken on a special meaning.

MEDICINE: The COVID war zone: How NYC doctors faced the outbreakThe staff at an elite ICU in New York City had seen many emergencies, but nothing close to the start of the coronavirus outbreak in March 2020. CBS News’ Lesley Stahl sits down with doctors from New York-Presbyterian/Weill-Cornell Hospital, and with journalist Marie Brenner, author of “The Desperate Hours,” to pull back the curtain on the inner lives, struggles and triumphs of doctors who were living through what felt like a battle.

MOVIES: Meet Marcel the Shell With Shoes OnWhen comedian-actor Jenny Slate and filmmaker Dean Fleischer Camp created the voice of a tiny animated character – a seashell with a googly eye, shoes, and a winning personality – they could not predict that their quirky short films would become viral hits online, nor that the one-inch-tall shell would star in a feature-length movie, the heartwarming adventure “Marcel the Shell With Shoes On.” Correspondent David Pogue talks with Slate and Camp about Marcel’s sweet, funny quest to find his family; and with “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl, who plays herself in the film.

Dancer, choreographer and actor Mikhail Baryshnikov, now starring in “The Orchard.”

CBS News

STAGE: Mikhail Baryshnikov on “The Orchard”At the Baryshnikov Arts Center in New York City, dancer and actor Mikhail Baryshnikov stars in an adaptation of Chekhov’s “The Cherry Orchard,” a story whose themes of loss and freedom echo with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. He talks with correspondent Anthony Mason about the production, and how the dancer, who has remained largely non-political since his 1974 defection from the Soviet Union, says he can no longer stay silent on what he calls Putin’s war.

PREVIEW: Mikhail Baryshnikov on criticizing Vladimir Putin: “I will be 75 years old. What have I to lose?”

Animation directed and designed by Nate Milton. Music by Buck St. Thomas.
