In this week's episode, we learn about big news from the summer! We start with the official nominations of Donald Trump and Joe Biden as their parties' candidate for president. We meet Biden's running mate Kamala Harris and get to know why she is a historic pick for the position.
Plus, we learn about protests calling for racial equality, join students at the recent March on Washington and discover Martin Luther King Jr.'s part in the original march. Mississippi is changing their flag to remove a confederate symbol, so we take a look at Ohio's own flag in this week's Know Ohio.
Next, we travel around the globe to see how the pandemic impacted Muslims during the Hajj. Finally, Margaret has a fun update on summer sea turtle findings in this week's Spot on Science.
