Stark scenes outside the White House on Monday evening as federal police forcibly cleared a path through a group of largely peaceful protesters in order for President Trump to walk from the White House to St John's Episcopal Church. Meanwhile, former Vice President Joe Biden was out visiting protest sites and advocating for leadership that overcomes fear and division. Christiane Amanpour is joined by Symone Sanders, senior adviser to the Biden campaign, and then Scott Jennings, former special assistant to former President George W. Bush, to discuss this contrast in leadership. Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, Karen Bass, explains what can be done legislatively to address the racial injustice plaguing America and reflects on next steps for the Congressional Black Caucus. And our Walter Isaacson speaks to Bryan Stevenson, founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative, about solutions to the current crisis: from fundamentally rethinking American policing, to embracing truth and reconciliation.
