"In Search of the Movement: The Struggle for Civil Rights Then and Now," with Benjamin Hedin

Hosts Celeste Carey and Cecil Prescod speak with Benjamin Hedin about his book, "In Search of the Movement: The Struggle for Civil Rights Then and Now."  Hedin discusses the history of the civil rights movement and current events, which can look like the past. For example today's schools revert to being all-black or all-white. African-Americans are denied access to the polls. Unarmed black men are killed by police. Has America progressed on matters of race, or are we stalled - or even moving backward?
