EP 125: Race in America: Obama’s Legacy, Trump, BLM, and the Second Civil Rights Movement


Listen Later

We take a look at the state of race in America with what is being called the second Civil Rights Movement. The nation has undergone dramatic shifts over the past two decades, from the election of Barack Obama, to Black Lives Matter, to the rise, fall and return of Donald Trump.


Juan Williams joins Mosheh to discuss these developments and his new book, New Prize For These Eyes, which examines the second civil rights movement of the past 20 years. The conversation explores Obama’s legacy—both his accomplishments and shortcomings—as well as the progress and missteps of the Black Lives Matter movement. We dive into the state of the Democratic party, civil rights activists and how Black Americans look at the two political parties.  


Williams, a longtime journalist, who is currently a contributor at Fox News Channel, where he and Mosheh previously worked together, offers his perspective on the challenges facing America’s shifting racial landscape.
