♪ >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." tonight we begin with a new diplomatic push aimed at cooling tensions with china. secretary of state antony blichken arrived in beijing sunday for two days of high-stakes talks. it's the first u.s. diplomatic mission there in five years. cbs's margaret brennan is traveling with the secretary in beijing and leads us off tonight. margaret, good evening. >> reporter: jericka, after more than 5 1/2 hours of intense and very direct talks between secretary blinken and his chinese counterpart, there was at least one point of agreement. try to stop the downward spiral

twounto conflict. secretary blinken and foreign minister qin gang, a close ally of president xi jinping, tackled a long list of grievances. the u.s. goal, open communication channels to avoid a military clash. tensions spiked last summer when then house speaker nancy pelosi visited taiwan. and again in february after the spy balloon shootdown. china's defense chief refuses to speak with u.s. defense secretary lloyd austin at a time when beijing is massively expanding its nuclear arsenal. miscommunication risks a clash. last month a chinese warship came within 150 feet of slamming into an american ship transiting the taiwan strait. and in the south china sea a chinese fighter jet buzzed the u.s. air force. the divide runs deeper than a failure to communicate.

blinken also pressed authorities to crack down on the flow of fentanyl. that drug is now the number one killer of americans under the age of 50. after months of giving the u.s. the cold shoulder this opening from beijing may signal interest in reducing friction, at least on the financial front. the u.s. and chinese economies are so intertwined. on monday secretary blinken will meet with a top party official who oversees foreign policy, and if all goes well he may get a face-to-face with president xi jinping. jericka? >> so many issues to address. margaret bren in beijing. thank you. president biden spent father's day in delaware this week. the president heads to california as his re-election efforts take on a new urgency. cbs's skylar henry is at the white house this evening with those details.d to see you. well, the president is certainly picking up his campaign pace amid some criticism that he's moving too slow. nearly two months after announcing he's running for

it is a balancing act it is possible to have lawful gun ownership and make the country safer at the same time. jericka? >> all right. elise preston on that important report there in los angeles. thank you. well, today british intelligence officials reported that russia and ukraine are suffering high numbers of military casualties as key fights to force out the invading troops. cbs's ian lee is there. >> reporter: a happy father's day isn't to be found at this cemetery in eastern ukraine. oksana's dad vitali miroshnichenko died fighting last march. she now visits his grave along with her mother, vida and his comrade in arms yevgen, who was near him when he died. what kind of man was vitali? "he was the best father," says his wife, vida. "he was strong-willed like my daughter and he was my best friend." the pain of his loss still too fresh for her. why did your father feel it was

important to fight in this war? "he didn't want the russians to hurt us," she tells me. ukraine won't say how many of its soldiers have died in this war. western officials put it in the tens of thousands. of course many of them were fathers. and more die every day. the uk says both sides are suffering heavy casualties in ukraine's counteroffensive. the country is winning ground slowly. but painfully. fought for by men men like yevgen, who is also a father. what has this war been like for your children? "they're worried," he tells me. what do you hope the future is like for your children? "peace and freedom," he says. is that why you fight? "yes." so many fathers in this cemetery fought for the same reason. we saw dozens of freshly dug graves today, and while this offensive is just getting started no one expects it to be

♪ >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." good morning. i'm jericka duncan in new york. thanks for staying with us on this juneteenth. it's a national holiday marking the day the union army arrived in galveston, texas to inform enslaved people that they were free. president lincoln had issued the emancipation proclamation two years before the war ended, and the news just hadn't made its way to parts of texas yet. well, in the decades that followed it was an uphill struggle for many blacks to gain a full measure of that elusive american dream. one case in point, the famed architect paul whitaker has his.

>> reporter: when john sweeney spotted his dream home, all its realtor had to do was drop a name. >> she said that this is a paul williams house, do you know who paul williams is. of course i knew who paul williams was, but i feigned ignorance. i didn't want to show any sign that i knew him. i was extremely excited. and that i wanted this house very badly. but trust me, there were a thousand little boys on christmas morning jumping around inside of me. >> reporter: take a tour with john and his wife, cheryl. >> the gold leaf ceiling. >> the gold leaf. wow. >> reporter: and you'll see with why a home designed by paul revere williams is something to cherish. >> the house itself is a piece of art. as you looked around the house, you'll see we are collectors of african american t. b owpiece ie house itself. >> reporter: i wiiams hos, known for their grace and elegance, are a hot commodity, with one recently

selling for $61 million. >> this is the crescent wing. the iconic logo of the beverly hills is actually his handwriting. >> wow. >> reporter: karen hudson is williams' granddaughter, and she's proud to show off perhaps his most glamorous achievement, the crescent wing of the famed beverly hills hotel. its distinctive entrance, the color scheme and curves all remain as he designed them. >> it is just as iconic and just as classic as it was then. at a time when he could not stay here, he could not eat here. >> reporter: as described in hudson's two books on his life, when williams was born in 1894 a six-decade career in architecture hardly seemed likely. >> before the age of 4 he was raised by a loving foster mother who believed he could do anything. teachers were very clear you should not be anrc uson'tire just believed thatasre perseved ase do.

and that's what he was going to do. >> reporter: in the 1920s williams' talent as a young architect met good luck. through a series of improbable connections he was hired to design one showcase home after another. his career was launched. ithin the realities of the time. >> it was not appropriate for him to sit next to his white clients, particularly not a white woman. and so he learned to draw upside down. >> upside down. >> upside down. so if i said mark, do you want a big kitchen? he would just upside down start drawing it and sketching it in front of you. >> that's also a wow. >> that's a wow. >> that he could do that. >> that's a wow. >> reporter: it was a performance that caught the eye of hollywood. soon he was designing homes for stars like lon chaney, barbara stanwyck, and lucy and desi. >> all it takes is one party. you go to i aparty and say who was your architect? >> they could see his creativity. >> theyld his crvity, couap theould

show off. >> reporter: frank sinatra showed off his paul r. williams house on cbs to edward r. murrow. >> tell me, frachk,nk, what rooe we in now? >> well, this is the combination dressing room, ed, and bedroom. with my unique-looking fireplace with the chinese red. i'm sorry you can't see the colors. >> reporter: as for williams' own home, for the first three decades of his career he lived here, with his wife and two daughters, in a house currently being restored. >> he was living on the same block as people who worked on the bus or people who worked in people's homes. >> reporter: at the time this l.a. neighborhood was effectively segregated. and he wrote about it in a 1937 magazine essay called "i am a negro." >> what he said was today i designed a home in one of the most beautiful vistas in the country, a home that i could afford, but i come home to my relatively inexpensive, modest home because i'm a negro.

>> i call him the michael jordan of african american architects. >> reporter: roland wily is an l.a. architect. and something of a williams superfan. >> he had this rare combination of talent, personality, vision. >> reporter: and a commitment, wily says, to more than just his white clients. >> he was quietly doing all of his community work. he was quietly helping to build banks. he was very much interested in uplifting our race of african americans. >> didn't he also design affordable housing? >> he designed small houses, affordable houses. > reporter: in all, williams, who died in 1980, designed some 3,000 buildings and he was the first black member of the american institute of architects. today african american membership hovers at just 2%. >> his god-given tmcend that.

and that's what i think -- >> with all the talent in the world you still have to get up the next day and go back out there, try to make it in a world where people don't expect someone like you to make it. >> but that's what's fascinating about it. that he did that. >> reporter: after john and cheryl sweeney bought their 1927 home john, a veteran civil rights attorney, found the original covenant. >> none of the real estate herein described shall be sold, conveyed, leased or rented to or occupied by any person other than that of the caucasian race. >> this house was designed not for an african american, not for an asian american or a latino american or caucasian american. it was designed for a person who appreciates fine things. and that's the story this house tells. this is the sun porch. >> reporter: to ensure that williams' legacy endures, the sweeneys worked to have their home declared a l.a. historic

cultural monument. >> this house is now legally protected. >> it is now legally protected. this is mr. williams' vision, and it won't be disturbed. >> reporter: a fitting tribute for the master architect with a groundbreaking life. >> that again was mark whitaker reporting. and this is the "cbs overnight news." dove 0% with coconut and jasmine is aluminum free and kind to skin. it dries instantly, with no visible residue. with 48 hour odor protection, nobody's coconuts work harder. hey, i just got a text from my sister. with 48 hour odor protection, you remember rick, her neighbor? sure, he's the 76-year-old guy who still runs marathons, right? sadly, not anymore. wow. so sudden. um, we're not about to have the "we need life insurance" conversation again, are we? no, we're having the "we're getting coverage so we don't have to worry about it" conversation. so you're calling about the $9.95 a month plan

we're looking bac ae of the eve thathahe experience in the united states. for instance, the american flag. not waved in honor but used as a weapon, with the attack caught on film. faith saley explains. >> reporter: by the spring of 1976 -- >> you're ordered to disperse in the name of the commonwealth -- >> reporter: -- the city of boston had become a kind of war zone. the court-ordered busing designed to desegregate boston public schools had been going on for two years, and nobody was happy about it. >> they may say this is helping. it's tearing them apart. >> reporter: for newspaper photographer stanley foreman april 5th started out like many other days. >> i went to a demonstration every day. we were always there in front of southie high, charlestown high. >> reporter: on this day the anti-busing demonstration was to be on the plaza of boston city hall. >> this is the place?

>> this is it. >> reporter: when foreman arrived at city hall, a group of white high schoolers had already gathered. >> i looked down the plaza, and i saw a black man taking the turn and it dawned on merey'anhs go ted landsmark, now a distinguished professor of public policy and urban affairs at northeastern university. in 1976 he was a young lawyer and community advocate on his way to a meeting in city hall. >> i could hear their chants. the kind of chant that you would ex expect, stop forced busing, we want our neighborhoods back. then one of the young men shouted out, "there's an n word. get him." >> i'm shooting wild. and i'm watching this unfold. >> the first young person to attack me hit me on my face, and andcked offse and then he's puss

rolling over. and he's kicked. i mean, he was being pummeled. >> then as i was regaining my balance one of the young men who was carrying an american flag circled back to swing the american flag at me. and that's when the famous photograph was taken. the flag itself never touched me. if it had, i probably wouldn't be here today. >> reporter: he was taken to the emergency room at mass general, where the black doctor asked if he'd like a small bandage or a larger one. >> i told him that i'd rather have the larger bandage. i knew the potential impact that a photograph could have. >> reporter: stanley foreman's photograph appeared on the front page of the "boston herald american" and was picked up by news services around the world. >> it was racism. mean, it's the american flag. it was hate. it was hate right in front of

you. >> reporter: that photograph would earn foreman a pulitzer prize. how many times have you walked through here in the past 47 years? >> i wouldn't walk through here for about two years after the event itself because it would conjure for me a lot of really negative feelings. but i have since walked through here hundreds of times. and at this point it's just my way into city hall. >> reporter: as for the students who attacked landsmark that day -- >> the courts arranged for the young people to be brought in to court to apologize to me if i was willing at that time not to press charges against them. >> reporter: he accepted their apologies. >> for me the ability to address many of the underlying causes of the structural racism that

existed in the city at that time was more important than trying to settle a score with four young people who'd gotten caught up in a violent moment. >> reporter: we reached out to joseph rakes, the young man holding the flag in 1976. our interview request was declined. >> how do you feel when you look at an american flag? >> i feel sorry for people who have misused the flag as a symbol of a kind of patriotism that is often excluding of the many people who have stood up for, fought for, and defended what the flag symbolizes in terms of democratic access to the great resources that this country has. i look at the flag as still a symbol of what we aspire to be. >> that was faith salli reporting. now, later today the cbs

mor than a decade later engineers are still working to remove radioactive debris. and meanwhile, another problem is piling up in these tanks. experts for tepco, the company in charge, explain they've collected so much radioactive water from rain and runoff over the years they kept having to add tanks to contain it. now 12 years in these tanks are almost full of water. more than a million tons of it. and tepco says the only solution is to start getting rid of it. by piping it into the sea next to the plant. for haruo ono, who's been fishing this ocean all his life, that is an outrage. "it's not a garbage dump," he tells me. "they say it's safe but the consequences could be 50 years down the road."th bno con says tepco, because its technology removes all rdioactive compounds from the water except one, tritium, which

stays in but is diluted to meet international standards. so even when the water is piped back into the sea, tepco says fish from fukushima will be safe to eat. and it's raising some inside the nuclear plant to prove it. in this lab are fish, flounder, that are living in water with the same level of radiation as the water that is going to be released back into the sea. the tritium certainly hasn't affected their appetite. >> ooh. these are lively. >> reporter: and tests show that back in normal seawater they flush it out of their systems. the international atomic energy agency broadly backs the tritium-laced water release. but will consumers actually eat the fish? unlikely, says haruo ono, who is now looking at the end of his livelihood. the human cost of the fukushima meltdown will weigh onande
