Inequality that we see amongst black americans when we compare them to whites. can we get just a drop of hope in 2021? how do we bridge this divide when we know that theres not just a 400 year, but policy-wise, a 100 year head start that so many white americans have based on everything from policies in america, from education, to housing, to the environment, to public health, to health care? the list goes on and on. >> its a great point about the unholy alliance that fdr and the democrats had in...
