security team around biden does not think there is much to trust at all with mr. putin given that russia has interfered in the last two presidential elections and recently those crippling cyber attacks that originated from inside putin's country, and just this week, russia began naval drills in the pacific near the coast of hawaii. it is the latest in what the u.s. believes are a series of provocations. ed o'keefe is traveling with the president and ed, it was extraordinary to watch just what happened this morning. what do we know so far? >> reporter: well, good morning, norah, from around the bend of lake geneva so far in what they call the city of peace. it was a kay on theec start, but we've seen these kinds of altercations before with autocratic leaders and it looks as though more russian than american press got in the room and there was confusion about the president's response to a question about whether he trusted vladimir putin. the reporter in the room who asked this question saw the

president nod in the affirmative, but shortly later the white house press -- the white house communications director sought to clarify the president's non-verbal response over twitter pointing out that he was very clearly not responding to any one question, but nodding in acknowledge to the press generally. she had pointed out just two days ago he prefers to verify then trust rather than trust, but verify as ronald reagan used to say. already some spinning going on on the american side about the atmosphere this morning. we are in hour two of what has been promised to be a four to five hour conversation between these leaders and will at various times include their top diplomatic envoy. secretary of state antony blinken in the case of the united states and a handful of other aides and joined by interpreters and later we anticipate solo news conferences from both leaders as they wrap up the summit. >> any big agreements that are expected today. is this summit, in many ways

about president biden sending a tough message to the russians? >> that is essentially what white house officials will tell you, yes. no big agreements expected. no major takeaway, but he is expected to stress, you know, american national interest and make clear to president putin and his team that if the russians take activities that are counter to those american interests there will be a strong response. remember, he comes to this meeting having spent the last several days meeting with most of the leaders of western europe in g7 and eu and nato meetings. in each of those conversations he has said he was encouraged to hold this meeting and was given advice to what to say. we'll see what he tells us about it a little later. >> all right, ed, thank you very much. president biden is far from the first u.s. president to be challenged by vladimir putin. the former kgb officer has led russia for most of the last 21 years. mr. biden is the fifth u.s. president he has met. elizabeth palmer has covered

putin extensively and she joins us now. elizabeth, good morning. so good to see you. no matter what comes out of this meeting won't president putin declare himself the winner and use this as a propaganda ploy? >> i don't think he has to wait until the meeting's over, norah. he is already a winner in the fact that it happened. all that magnificent arrival and the convoy and then, of course, being shown on televisions worldwide to be with the president of the united states. that's really what putin has wanted. he is very anxious always to be seen as a player, and he's aware that the soviet union was mightier than russia, so he's very anxious to make sure that russia is seen as a power to be reckoned with and this summit ticks both those boxes for him in a very visible, high-profile way. >> elizabeth, do you think there will be any concessions or change on the part of president

putin? i mean, he is going to be confronted today by president biden on a number of issues, most notably cyber attacks in the united states. >> it's unlikely that we'll get an explicit admission from russia that they can do anything about cyber attacks even if they originate in russia or that their intelligence services are somehow involved and that's simply not going to be ever public, but it seems likely that he will take aboard the american warning, the red line particularly if it comes with president biden telling him, listen, we have ways to strike back that you are not going to like and he will perhaps try and reset to avoid any kind of spiralling cyber attack going out of control. so that is probably the most important thing that's also going to be the least visible.

visibly, i think we will look for a rest raoration of dip the maic, and it is important that they get there and get back to work. >> all right. elizabeth palmer, thank you so much. let's send it back to all of you in new york. anthony? >> norah, thank you. now lettay br's bring in chief political analyst john dickerson. as we heard ed say the white house is managing expectations here saying nothing big is going to come out of this, but you're looking at a relationship the u.s. and russia that's been spiralling down for a while. is this an effort to kind of at least stabilize things? >> that's right, and just get them on a firm footing. when i think about the impact of this meeting, communications is the big deal. 58 years ago in the very spot in the height of the cold war the russians and the americans met together to set up what was known as the hotline, the red phone and that was after the cuban missile crisis and the

point was in these tense negotiations and intense relationships you have to have communications and why? because if you misunderstand something you can end up way down confrontational road that you can't pull back from. that was true with nuclear weapons and it's true with cyber, too. so part of what this meeting is setting up lines of communications to send threats, to send encouragement, but to have communications so that things don't spiral out of control. >> should we make anything of the dialing down of the rhetoric because president biden called president putin a killer not long ago, but right before this he called him a worthy adversary. >> liz is saying putin has gotten what he wants and that's being called a worthy adversary when your objective is to look equal to that american president. >> if putin walks away because the meeting happened in the first place, president biden is open to the criticism he shouldn't have at all, what is the purpose for having the meeting in the first place? >> if you'll give him a box of

chocolates that's as you because behind closed doors you'll be purchasing him in the stomach. part of this is carrots and sticks, to use the old cliche and clearly, they know what putin wants and they know that he gets it and they'll make requests behind closed doors which we may not know about for months in which putin has to change his behavior closer to u.s. interests and that's the part we won't get to see and the reason president biden said that is clearly to set up a request. we gave you a little bit of what you want. now you've got to give us what we want. >> what are the stocks that president biden has to work with? >> the sticks are he knows where putin lives and he'll go in there with a lot of intelligence about what these cyber hackers inside russia have been doing in their connections with the russian government and what intelligence forces are doing to meddle in america's sovereign elections and basically in our public square. there's a lot of disinformation

that the russians are behind. if he lays out that portfolio in front of the russian president and says we know you're doing all these things. if you keep doing it, here are the consequences and makes it clear that there are red lines then that's a way that he forces the russian lead tore change his behavior, presumably if he knows that continuing that behavior will invite real retaliation. >> these two leaders have met before, john. obviously, joe biden was not president and he was either in the senate or vice president, but they know each other. what's the significance of this particular meet coming is going to last five or six hours, maybe? is it essentially going to set the tone for relations for years? >> i think so. as president biden said at the beginning, it is more useful if it is face to face. if you look back at meetings between the heads or leaders with russia, they get a feel for each other and they guess what the other will do. that can be quite powerful. when george herbert walker bush

knew about gorbachev, he knew to hold back when the berlin wall fell because he knew the pressures gorbachev was under. he knew that from the personal interactions they'd had. his understanding of gorbachev's position may have given gorbachev the position, the room to deal with the fall of communism. that is the heightened example. so whatever these leaders get from each other will determine how they make decisions going forward and that can be crucial. >> there are two former marines in prison in russia, imprisoned as private citizens and bringing americans home is obviously a political win for any president. could we see movement on that front? >> sure, and it depends really on what vladimir putin wants to do and how he wants to present himself. there's no better way to look like america's equal than to be magnanimous. taking prisoners in the first place is want a magnanimous gesture and if they could be released, extradition is quite

low, but it is one of the things that experts looking at this see as a way in which putin and russia have been escalating and those naval ships off ofmetihae you escalate so that you can de-escalate and look like you've participated in a negotiation. >> john dickerson. thanks so much. stay with cbs news for continuing coverage of president biden's historic meeting with vladimir putin. we'll bring you a special report on president biden's news conference after that meeting. in other news, violence erupted along israel's border with gaza for the first time since the cease-fire last month. israeli warplanes fired on targets inside gaza overnight after explosives were sent floating into israel. all of this followed a march by jewish nationalists in a divided area. charlie d'agata is in tel aviv. charlie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, it is the first test of this new government led by prime minister naftali bennett only three days in power and here's what happened. the military says the air

strikes were a retaliation for a number of incendiary balloons that crossed into israel from gaza last night. israeli fighter jets struck military compounds belonging to hamas militants. there have been no reports of any casualties on either side. we were in east jerusalem yesterday when that right-wing march was allowed to go ahead including a gathering at damascus gate, and it is central to christians and jews, and it helped trigger 11 days of fighting in israel and militants in gaza which left 253 people dead. a fragile cease-fire has been in place and has been holding for around three weeks, but tension are running high. the israeli military says they're prepared to resume fighting if necessary. a hamas spokesman said palestinians will continue to

defend their rights and their sacred sites. >> all right. that was charlie d'agata reporting from israel. charlie, thank you very much. back here, the west is expecting another day of dangerous heat. at some point this week more than 40 million americans will see high temperatures in the triple digits. cbs news meteorologist and climate specialist jeff berardelli is here with how the heat makes the west's already historic drought not good. good morning. >> it is not good. good morning, tony. good morning, everyone. the heat warning is nothing short of epic. it is about as hot as it could get this time of year. all-time record highs 108 degrees yesterday in billings, montana and that heat will continue and build west into california which is parched. 116 in las vegas today. look at sacramento tomorrow. 110 degrees there and redding 110 and the heat splits, notice lincoln nebraska, 104 degrees. this is on top of the worst

drought in modern history in the west. look at these stats. the driest, 12-month period on record right now and this is now the worst 20-year drought in at least 1200 years in the west. so are we going to see any relief? no, because it's dry season in the west and basically not a drop, but the places that we've seen three feet of rain like bat baton rouge in the last three months another six to three inches of rain which will likely make landfall friday into saturday. >> just incredible temperatures. thank you very much. ahead, we'll take a look at how those record-breaking heat numbers and the heat wave could create a new energy crisis in the state of texas. millions of people there lost power in sub-freezing temperatures last winter. see why the very

welcome back to "cbs this morning". as the pandemic continues we're facing a terrible reminder of the human cost of the coronavirus taxpayer u.s. has now surpassed 600,000 lives lost, the highest official death toll in the world, by far. however, the death rate has slowed significantly lately, thanks in large part of the success of covid vaccines. for more on the state of the pandemic, we spoke earlier with president biden's chief medical adviser, dr. anthony fauci, and we began by asking him about vaccines and covid variantsful. new york announced last night

they're at 70% of the adult population vaccinated. there were fireworks over the river. i heard them all the way this brooklyn. things are easing and getting better in many parts of the country. but on the horizon we hear about the delta variant. how concerned should we be? >> well, certainly if you're not vaccinated you should be concerned. the bad news is that we have a variant that seems to transmit more efficiently than the major dominant one that we're seeing now. it's about 10% of the cases now going up pretty rapidly. it's a variant that in england has taken over. more than 90% of the isolates in the uk are the delta. it's concerning because it spreads clearly more efficiently than the one we have been normally dealing with, and it tends to look like it might even be more serious in making people ill. the good news about all of this,

tony s that the intervvaccines using in the country do well against this. >> regardless of the level of vaccination in a state, most of the country will be open for business and back to relative normality by july 4th. they've already made those announcements, governors have. how do you feel about the state of america's opening up mid-summer? >> i think in general it's a good idea. the president's goal of getting 70% of the adult population vaccinated by the fourth of july is a challenging goal. i believe we can do it. the issue that concerns me and other public health officials are that there are parts of the nation in which the level of vaccination is really low, below 50%, and even considrably lower than that. that is risky, because that then you will see increase in cases, which if you have vulnerable people, the elderly and others with underlying conditions, there's going to be increase in hospitalizations if that's the

case. >> and we also asked dr. fauci about competing theories on the origin of the coronavirus, including the idea that it started not in nature but in a lab in wuhan, china. >> well, first of all, tony, most of the scientists who know about virus philogeny and biology will stay from a biological standpoint it's still more likely this is a natural occurrence. we have always kept an open mind. end of january, beginning of february, when people looked at the virus and said, this could be something that came from a lab, i brought together a group of scientists. i let people know about it. people forget that. but if you go back then, even though you lean towards feeling this is more likely a natural car insurance, we've always felt you've got to keep an open mind, all of us.

we didn't get up and started announcing it, but we've said keep an open mind and continue to look, so i think it's a bit of a distortion to say that we deliberately suppressed that. when you're a scientist, until you definitively prove something, the nature of science, tony, is to always keep an open mind, and that's what we did. you can feel from a virological standpoint this is going to be more likely a natural occurrence. there are these wet markets where you have the animal-human interface. you keep open the possibilities and you can have a strong opinion of one without closing your mind. and that's what i and many of the scientists have done. >> dr. anthony fauci talking to us earlier. given china's lack of transparency i'm not sure we'll

ever really know. >> that's the point i was going to make. we want to know so badly, but it might be lost in the midst. >> important to hear him say how much of the delta variant is in the u.s. 10% of the cases but in the england 0% of the cases. that could be down the road for us. >> the vaccine continues to be resilient against all variants. >> i'm worried about the vac variants to vaccines don't cover. >> keeps mutating. texas faces what could be the second power failure of the year. why the independent electric grid is asking customers to cut back after they were told its problems were fixed. you're watching "cbs this morning". >> reporter: if you have moderate to severe psoriasis, little things can become your big moment. that's why there's otezla.

the heat wave is straining texas' energy grid, creating a second potential power crisis only four months after the last one. million of customers lost power during a winter cold snap, leading to burst water pipes and severe damage. now the grid's manager wants people to limit power use until friday to avoid an energy, at the same time as temperatures reach -- listen to this -- triple digit temperatures in some areas. omar villafranca, it's of theth hot out there but you're looking pretty cool.

good morning. >> reporter: good morning. texas operates on its own private power grid. you may remember back in february some of those power generating plants failed because of the extreme cold. they're built to operate in the heat. here we are in mid june and millions of texans are furious because they're being asked to conserve energy when the system should be running just fine. before summer even begins, texans are feeling heat. the state's grid operator are asking people to limit their electricity use as demand for energy nearly exceeds texas' energy supply. >> obviously i don't think our state department has done a very good job managing that situation, and they don't really care. >> reporter: the warning game because several power plants in the state are unexpectedly offline. that caused energy supply to dip at a time when the heat wave was

increasing in demand. >> i don't have any potential reasons that i can share at this time. >> reporter: ercot blamed those supplying the energy. they just manage the grid. >> it's the responsibly of the generation owners to make sure that their plants are available during the peak hours when customer demand is very high. >> reporter: it's the second time just this year the state's power grid has faced intense scrutiny. in february, a catastrophic winter storm left more than 150 people dead and millions without power for several days. >> reporter: the power system and power grid in the state of texas has never been better. >> reporter: just last week the governor signed two bills that he said would make the grid more reliable in extremes. >> there are safeguards in place. >> reporter: but it will likely take years before any changes are implemented. is it more of a power getting on

to the grid to help customerser or is it the actual grid itself? >> today it's a lack of generation capacity, a lack of power coming on to the grid. >> reporter: ed hurst is an energy fellow at the university of houston. >> are you expecting blackouts or brownouts this sumner houston? >> i wouldn't be surprised. this is a serious public safety problem for the yuft of texas. no one takes responsibility and no one is held accountable. >> reporter: hurst says the plants failing are the traditional ones. there's also questions about price spikes. now, hurst says most texans are on fixed rate plans but those on variable could see a price go up. >> you know the advice had been to keep your thermostat at 78 degrees and maybe don't do laundry or hanurhes.

u're going fol t your house? >>p. trying with a 5-year-ld. >> no laundry with a 5-year-old? i don't think that's workable. up next, the ve said too muc♪ yardwork... teamwork... long walks....

it's wednesday, june 16th, 2021. welcome to "cbs this morning." a historic summit between president biden and vladimir putin begins with a handshake as the whole world watches. what both sides might achieve in geneva at a low point in u.s./russia relations. a diamond rush in africa overwhelms a small village. how desperation is fueling a huge pressure hunt in an unlikely location. and ellen bursten's advice for herself at a younger age. it's the latest in our series, note to self. >> can't wait to see that.

first, here's this hour's "eye opener". president biden is in geneva, switzerland, meeting at this moment with russian president vladimir putin. the president's national security team does not think there is much to trust at all with mr. putin given that russia has interfered in the last two presidential elections. he said two days ago that in the case of vladimir putin, he prefers to verify, then trust rather than trust but verify as ronald reagan used to say. >> visibly, i think we should look for a restoration of diplomatic relations. you know, the ambassadors have not been in their respective countries for some months now. it's important they should get back there and get back to work. >> what is the case from the biden camp for having this meeting in the first place? >> well, if you're going to give them a box of chocolates, that's also because behind closed doors, you're going to be punching them in the stomach. part of this is carrots and sticks to use the old clay sich.

in. >> in a weekend interview vladimir putin laughed that you called him a killer. is that still your belief that he's a killer? >> to answer your 'm lahing. >> i'm laughin too. i just remembered a comic from a gum i chewed in 1972. what are you guys talking about? >> welcome to "cbs this morning." we begin this hour in geneva where president biden's historic meeting with rush president vladimir putin is happening right now. here you can see the two men shaking hands just a short time ago. it is mr. biden's first meeting with the russian leader as president. he's promised a much tougher stance than his predecessor donald trump who appeared to have a cozier relationship with mr. putin. the topics on the agenda are expected to include nuclear arms control, russian-linked cyber

attacks on the u.s., and the imprisonment of russian opposition leader alexi navalny. we are joined from geneva. nancy, good morning. we saw a brief glimpse from the press pool of the two leaders sitting down together. i believe mr. biden was heard to tell mr. putin that it's always better to meet face to face. do we have any idea what else they discussed in that moment the press was allowed in? >> well, president biden, anthony, was also asked whether he trusts putin, and putin was asked whether he trusts president biden. president biden nodded, but to be honest, it was difficult to make out what was said, because so many u.s. reporters in the traveling white house pool were actually boxed out of that room, because a swarm of russian journalists far more than were supposed to be there, got into the room. there was a physical altercation

between the russians and the americans. this is the kind of chaos that often does accompany the russian leader. sometimes it's meant to throw the americans or whoever he is meeting with off their game. nevertheless, all the reporters have now been pulled from the room, and that meeting is taking place. first a small meeting between presidents biden and putin and their top foreign aides, and then after about an hour and a half or so we expect it to open up and four more aides on each side will be allowed into the room. >> how did president biden prepare for this meeting? >> reporter: well, he spent weeks sitting down with his secretary of state, his national security adviser. here in europe he's been on the road for the past week. he's been meeting with various european leaders, getting their take on what they want him to bring up, what they think is not as important. their experiences, meeting with the russians. so he has been preparing over

the past few weeks. as his white house press secretary said recently, in some ways he's been preparing for this for r50 -- 50 years because he has such a long history of meeting with russian leaders. >> this meeting could go on for four or five hours or more? >> that's the best indication we have from both the white house and the russians. but these are two men who have the gift of gab. who have a lot of agenda items to get through. so it's quite possible that this meeting could go longer and then, of course, we've got press conferences after that. those could take a couple hours to get through as well. >> yeah. and an attempt to reset an agenda between the countries in a relationship that as we've been saying all morning is at a low point at this point. nancy, thank you. stay with "cbs this morning" with continuous coverage of the meeting. we'll bring you a special report

on the news conference after that meeting. in other news, this saturday is juneteenth which marks the end of slavery in the u.s. ahead, we will speak with the mother of beyonce about how the

stone in a field. africa, by the wait, produces most of the world's diamonds, but not in this area. as debora patta reports, that is not stopping these poor people from trying to dig their way to a better life. >> reporter: it started with a chance discovery and quickly turned into a mass treasure hunt. once word got out that a local herdsman had dug up what might be a precious stone, thousands of fortune seekers flocked to the small rural village in kwa-zulu natal. >> people are digging diamonds here. so i said, let me come and take a try, only to find that i was going to find one. >> reporter: most people here are no idea what an uncut diamond looks like. "i haven't seen or touched a diamond in my life," said skhumbuzo mbhele. "i hope this makes a difference because we're really struggling." authorities have sent experts to the area. a geologist on site was skeptical, telling us it's unlikely these are diamonds, but

that hasn't stopped people from dreaming. >> if this were the real diamonds, that will help me and my family because everyone needs financial stability and need to get up in life. >> reporter: teams of geologists have collected stones for further investigation. the south african economy has taken a severe battering during the pandemic which is why this modern-day diamond rush has sparked such high hopes for a better life. for "cbs this morning," debra pat patta, johannesburg. >> that is quite a scene. >> and you can -- you can understand why people would hear a story about someone getting rich, finding something in the dirt, and flocking to that spot. i don't think those are diamonds they're finding. >> doesn't look like it to me. >> but what if they are? >> that's the dream. >> that is the dream. >> that's the dream. >> if i was nearby, i might jaunt over there and dig through the dirt. >> very tempting. >> take a shot. all right. americans are getting ready to mark juneteenth and the end of

now. she has planned for the tokyo olympic games to be her last olympics. but she's now considering the 2024 olympics in paris which is great. >> yeah. >> i guess she'll be, what, 28 by then. around then. that would be incredible. so even with all the pandemic delays, she continues to break records, of course. she recently won her seventh u.s. all-around title, the most in u.s. women's gymnastics history. and last month she became the first woman to land the double pike vault in competition. >> wow! >> look at that. clean. >> wow. >> she's recently also signed with athleta, leaving her longtime sponsor nike. >> still at the top of her game obviously. you know, why not keep going. great to see. >> amazing. >> yeah. celebrating a great career already. another celebration, the state of new york honored essential workers last night with this popup fireworks display around the state. there were fireworks at the new

york state fairgrounds in syracuse, in new york city, and at niagara falls state park. it was all organized to celebrate new york hitting a 70% covid vaccination rate for adults, allowing most of the states coronavirus restrictions to be lifted. very exciting. they also lit the empire state building, one world trade center, and state buildings in blue and gold. we've got a ticker tape parade for essential workers coming up on july 7th. when i can imagine not only ticker tape, there will be people banging pots and pans as we did ever night for months. >> i'm glad i was able to see the fireworks in your "talk of the table." i heard them and looked out my window and saw nothing but other buildings. >> same here. it was great to feel them even if you couldn't see them. >> yeah. my "talk of the table" is also new york related, although it's really about ranked choice voting which is an interesting idea already in use in the state of maine for federal elections. it's coming to alaska. and the idea is in a political race, you don't just pick your number-one choice, you rank your

choices in order from one to five or one to ten. and the idea is that extreme politics get weeded out, and you end up with a winner who is kind of tolerable to the most amount of people. so in new york city, which does this to elect a mayor, mayor bill de blasio, current mayor, helped demonstrate to new yorkers exactly how ranked choice works. he did it by using pizza toppings. so domino's and de blasio worked together to rank pizza toppings, and did it work? were the extreme choices weeded out? yes. the winner ended up being pepperoni. which i think the most amount of people can get behind. >> that would be number one on my list. >> it's delicious. yeah. i think that's correct. >> and pineapple and clam which, you know, that's pretty extreme as a pizza topping, fell to the bottom of the pack. >> yeah, that would be at the bottom of my list. >> i like pineapple on a pizza. >> do you? >> yeah, the sweet and salty. >> so ranked choice as delicious option as our mayor shows us.

take a look. >> mm. ranked choice voting. mm. i didn't know it would be this delicious. >> now that is an unusual way to hold a pizza -- >> look for the mayor. it was an interesting way to explain ranked choice voting. >> intriguing. adriana? >> all right. coming up we are turning to juneteenth, which is this saturday. the date commemorating the end of slavery in the u.s. is a step closer to becoming a federal holiday after a vote in the senate yesterday. so it still must pass in the house before going to president biden who is likely to sign it into law. juneteenth marks the events of june 19th, 1865, when union troops arrived in galveston, texas, to free remaining enslaved people. juneteenth is considered the longest celebrated african-american holiday to. to honor the day, facebook has teamed up with tina knowles-lawson who highlights its importance with special

programming and initiatives across facebook's platforms. knowles-lawson is a businesswoman and mother of beyonce and solange and joins us. hi, tina. so great to see you. >> great to see you, too. >> so tina, you know, it's surprising how many people aren't that familiar with juneteenth, but you're from galveston, there is where it all happened. you grew up with there tradition. how did you -- with this tradition. how did you celebrate and how do you celebrate now? >> when i was a child, ever since i can remember, we always celebrated juneteenth. it was a day that you went to the beach. a lot of people don't realize that galveston is an island. and so everything centered around the beach, and there were parades. nd when i got older, i was able to go to houston to emancipation park, and they well big, beautiful parades there. so we've always celebrated, it's always been a very important holiday. and you know, all of the black

americans there celebrate that holiday. >> and tina, with so many people who are just learning about juneteenth right now, what do you want them to know, and why is this so important that this holiday is recognized and taught in our schools? >> well, because it's history. and it's the truth. and that, you know, i was surprised when i moved to california because i wanted to have a juneteenth celebration, and my friends were not aware that we found out two years later about the -- the emancipation proclamation that lincoln had signed, and general granger came to texas and told the slaves there, the enslaved people. and there's a lot of history that's kind of been hidden. and a big part of that is that there were by 1866, there were 19,000 black soldiers that fought for our freedom, as well.

and i think that's important for us to know because we've been told differently. and it's just one more thing of how the vital part that we played in the history of this country in helping to build this country has been changed. and i think that everyone needs to know the truth, and they need to know the history. the actual history of that day. >> tina, you talk about going to california and finding that a lot of people didn't know about juneteenth. according to a recent poll nearly 30% of americans, american adults, know nothing about juneteenth. so this partnership you've got with facebook could be important in educating people. you're going to do a full week of programming honoring the holiday. why did you want to be a part of this? >> it's always something that i've been trying to spread the word about. i couldn't be happier that there is finally a focus on the truth. this is not the only history that's been either overlooked or

changed and rewritten. you know, there are tulsa, oklahoma, rosewood, manhattan beach, the histories have always been kind of like in the dark. and so unless you just really got out there and researched, you really didn't know the true history of the role that we played and how there have been a lot of injustices and things that have gone on. and i think this kind of starts to shine a light on those things, and i couldn't be more excited about facebook and the people that are just really wanting to make that -- help make it a national holiday and to celebrate that history. >> and tina -- >> come is the true history. >> which is the true history. you have been so wonderfully outspoken about the beauty of being black. what did your parents teach you about that growing up, and what did you pass on to your daughters? >> well, i absolutely always knew that it was an honor to be

a black person. this is what my parents taught me. and what we should have pride and just, you know, feel very honored by that. and so i was careful to impart that message to my children, as well, to surround them with african-american art and images that they didn't obviously see on tv or around as much as they should have. and so i think that's up to us parents to impart that knowledge and pass it on. and my kids celebrate the 19th of june. they always have, and they always will. and you know, it's very important. >> and you're helping so many others celebrate. tina knowles-lawson, thank you so much. ahead, a remarkable story

architect and the congregation's rabbi. jim, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, and it was a deep and meaningful conversation, anthony. the architect, the rabbi, and every member of the tree of life congregation are being guided by three words as they try to plan a way forward for the scene of this unspeakable horror -- remember, rebuild, and renew. >> this is daniel -- >> reporter: in pittsburgh, the architect daniel libeskind is beginning his latest project. like so much of his other work, this one, too, is rooted in devastation. >> you walk to the sites of murder, of a mass murder of the greatest attack on jews in this country. >> reporter: he navigated complex emotional terrain designing the ground zero site and the jewish museum in berlin will now lead the rebuild the tree of life campus csed since the sin when a hate-fd murder 11

services. >> it's not just a walk through disaster. you walk through the memory of what happened. and you think of the significance. what will this mean, what does it tell us? >> reporter: the son of holocaust survivors recently made his first trip to pittsburgh to meeting with rabbi jeffrey myers and members of the congregation. >> my father did the drawings -- >> reporter: examine artifacts of the day and begin to consider a way forward. how do you decide whether you knock it all down because it's just too full of horror? >> if you walk through and imagine where are traces of importance on the site, what is not just salvageable but inspires us still, and how do we document the past as it unfolds to brighter future. >> reporter: it's a delicate balancing act. marking trauma while wrestling hope from the pain.

one of the if not the governing principles will be making sure everyone is reminded that there is more light than darkness. >> it's absolutely true. light has to be the message of the place because we do live in darkness a lot of the time. and we saw the darkness and the evil of the events that befell on this congregation. but i think a building has to do something else, has to give you a sense of inspiration, a breath of life. >> there's an excitement of, wow, we can't wait to see what this will become. >> reporter: rabbi myers took us for a walk past the site. >> they have optimism for a great future -- >> reporter: pointing to artwork sent from around the world including students at marjorie stoneman douglas high school. >> that hope can come out of the horror of what happened at that school. to me that's just incredible. >> reporter: it's provided inspiration about a direction for the project.

>> i've come to learn that through 2.5 years, through letters, emails, cards, phone calls, from people around the world, complete strangers. this is vast silent majority out in the world over good, decent people. yeah, the time has come that the silent majority become a vocal majority to say to the rest of the world "this is unacceptable." >> it cannot deny what happened on the site. you have to be able to integrate in a meaningful way. >> reporter: while it's in the process, daniel libeskind, rabbi myers, and the tree of life community are beginning to frame a mission building a beachhead in the battle between tolerance and hate. what stories will you be telling with the design and construction of this site at the tree of life? >> the tree of life will not be my story it will be story of the people who are there on that day. it will be the story of beauty,

of fatality, of death, but also of rebirth, of renewal, of inspiration. >> reporter: as daniel libeskind knows all too well from the complex challenges his other projects have presented to him, it takes time to figure out the right balance between remembering, rebuilding, and renewing. we're told the design process is expected to be completed and ground should be broken by early next year. >> yeah, i love the message -- light has to be the message of the place. >> that was to me the most moving part of the interview. when rabbi myers, you could hear his voice in the last piece there, that -- that there is a silent majority of good, decent people that need to become a vocal majority. this campus, the tree of life campus, needs to be the place where that idea can take root. >> what they say at the tree of life itself already is more light equals more life. >> yeah. and if daniel libeskind can design a jewish museum in berlin, you know, he can -- >> his work is always about resilience. >> yeah. >> ground zero, as well.

>> i think about the strength he must have to constantly be working in the space of all tragedy and turt i something hopeful. >> impressive. >> absolutely. thank you very much, jim. on today's podcast, director andy senor discusses the new hbo documentary "revolution rent." it traces his journey to bring the broadway musical "rent" to cuba, the homelands of his exiled parents. the first theater production in more than 50 years. we'll be right back. ♪ bay area homeowners, learn how you can eliminate monthly mortgage payments and improve your cashflow. look, this isn't my first rodeo
