Political analyst Juan Williams joins Jamie Weinstein to discuss his new book, New Prize for These Eyes, which argues that America is experiencing a second civil rights movement, distinct from the first. He explores the impact of Barack Obama’s presidency on race relations, the backlash that followed, and the emergence of movements like Black Lives Matter.
The Agenda:
—Barack Obama’s 2004 speech: a pivotal moment
—The use of race in presidential campaigns
—Diversity taking care of itself
—Black Lives Matter, the movement and the grift
—Is a post-racial America possible?
