African-Americans across the US are celebrating Juneteenth

Newsday

Available for over a year

It's Juneteenth in America, the day that marks the abolition of slavery. We look at the anniversary in the context of the Black Lives Matters movement; Facebook says it has removed adverts for US President Donald Trump's re-election campaign that featured a symbol used in Nazi Germany; and DNA has been used to confirm the existence of an elite social class in the Stone Age inhabitants of Ireland.
