SUMMARY: The Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority and other community members dedicated four weeks to cleaning up a neglected part of the Oak Cliff Cemetery, revealing graves of individuals born into slavery. On Juneteenth, volunteers honored these graves with flowers. The cemetery, previously overgrown, features headstones of Black Texans, some born as early as 1807. Led by the chapter president, Rosemary Balden, and the 10th Street Task Force's Larry Johnson, the project aims to uncover and honor local history. Their efforts are also helping families connect with their ancestors. Plans are in place to make this an annual Juneteenth tradition.

Hundreds of graves belonging to Black Texans, including many born into slavery, were covered by weeds and overgrown trees.

SUMMARY: Hurricane Barrel, a Category 4 storm with 150 mph winds, made landfall in the Windward Islands early this morning, impacting Grenada and St. Vincent. Now entering the Caribbean, the storm is projected to move westward, potentially reaching the Yucatan Peninsula by the weekend. Barrel has already broken several records: it’s the strongest June hurricane on record, the earliest Category 4 hurricane, and the most intense storm to ever hit the Windward Islands. As the storm progresses, it is expected to weaken due to wind shear before impacting Northern Mexico or Southern Texas. Meanwhile, there’s an update on Invest 96L, which has a 60% chance of development.

FOX 4 meteorologist Dylan Federico is tracking Hurricane Beryl as it moves toward Mexico. Take a look at the possible paths, including the chance that it could move toward Texas.

SCOTUS Decision: Did Trump get immunity?

SUMMARY: The US Supreme Court has ruled on whether former President Donald Trump can be tried criminally for attempting to overturn the 2020 election. In his opinion, Chief Justice Roberts categorized potential actions into four “buckets” to determine if they're prosecutable. Official actions, such as discussions with Justice Department lawyers, are off-limits, while individual actions, like speaking at the January 6th rally, are prosecutable. Gray areas, like conversations with non-government attorneys, require further scrutiny. The ruling makes it harder to prosecute a former president by setting a high threshold of conditions and standards, outlining a complex legal framework for future cases.

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling in a case that weighs whether former President Donald Trump can be tried criminally for trying to overturn the 2020 election. Long story short, the book is not closed. Constitutional law attorney David Coale joined Good Day to take a closer look at the decision.
