On today’s Closer Look with Rose Scott, we start by speaking with Atlanta-based racial justice leader Dr. Catherine Meeks. In her new book, Bridging the Rivers of Difference: A Proclamation of Unity in Resistance, asks: Why do communities facing similar struggles remain divided, and what would it take to build true unity?


Then, we follow that discussion with author and former U.S. attorney Barbara McQuade. In The Fix: Saving America from the Corruption of a Mob-Style Government, she compares actions under the Trump Administration to what she’s seen when prosecuting high-level criminals. She gives her view on threats to American democracy, and how it can be fixed.
