This mesmerising video shows the moment tens of thousands of bats snake their way across the night sky. The cave is located about 50 metres up a small mountain which allows a spectacular view of the flying creatures as they meander en masse. It’s a Strictly dog show! Its production provides millions of dollars annually to economies in Southeast Asia and nearby Pacific islands. Bats are found in all regions of Thailand, where they are a protected species, and typically live together in a cave, like that of Phu Pha Man. The animals have a very important role in nature in the country, as they especially help pollinate plants and eliminate insects and pests. Around a million animals leave a nearby cave in line every evening at about 6pm, and it takes around 30 to 45 minutes until the last bat leaves the cave at the area’s national park.

Naomi Watkins If you happened to be near Union Station in Ogden, Utah on Saturday, June 20th, this year, you might have been surprised to see Wall Street filled with all kinds of cars, from suburbans to Camaros to Volkswagen Beetles, bumping down the street. Betty Sawyer We couldn’t do an outdoor celebration. 200 people come out to be a part of the caravan and we rode through town by our public safety building, by the farmer’s market, and did a lot of honking and people had all of their signs around, not just Juneteenth, but Black Lives Matter and, you know, supporting those movements that are going on at this particular time. It was a last-minute addition, part of a scramble to take Juneteenth virtual after the Covid-19 pandemic threatened to derail months of planning and work, and organizers had to get creative. But the caravan was not one of the events originally planned as part of this year’s month-long festival. It was a full-on, socially distanced party, with music pulsing and people honking and cheering as part of Utah’s annual celebration of Juneteenth, a holiday that celebrates the freeing of American slaves after the Civil War.

And our police, of course, led us on that parade route, on that caravan route, so that was important as well to show that solidarity and support with what we’re doing. For her and her team, cancelling the Juneteenth event was never an option because it’s so much more than a party. Naomi Watkins Betty Sawyer is the director of the Utah Juneteenth Freedom and Heritage Festival and Holiday. It’s a way to share the history of her people. Betty Sawyer, Community Engagement Coordinator in Access and Diversity at Weber State University and an activist on issues of racial justice in Utah for over 40 years. Do critical community work. Both women had to first learn their histories for themselves. And so, even with our virtual celebration we had to be really creative to keep some of the traditions of our celebration intact. Once they did, it took decades of work to get that history recognized both nationally and in Utah, and their efforts have left a lasting impact on the state.

Tom Williams So today we’re talking about stories — not just individual stories, but stories of people and cultures, especially those that haven’t been widely known or told. In addition to planning Utah’s Juneteenth celebration, Betty Sawyer was an important part of the effort to get Martin Luther King Day recognized as an official holiday in Utah. For Mae Timbimboo Parry, it was about getting the “Battle of Bear River” renamed the “Bear River Massacre” in recognition of the hundreds of her ancestors who were slaughtered by the U.S. Naomi Watkins And we’re focusing on two women who have done the work of bringing those stories to light. Tom Williams You know, there’s a recurring line in the musical Hamilton where George Washington says to Alexander Hamilton, “You have no control over who lives, who dies, who tells your story.” But these women were determined to take that control and tell the story of their people that wasn’t being told.
