Relations between Beijing and the West are in focus this morning with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken meeting China's leader Xi Jinping, who said there was progress in mending strained relations. And Europe is watching all of this. After reports of multiple Chinese crackdowns on Western businesses, some European firms are rethinking their operations in China. Also on the show today: Garrison Hayes, author of "A Kids Book About Juneteenth." Hayes tells us more about why he decided to write this book.
