After the death of George Floyd sparked protests and violence around the country, we asked two fellow veterans to share their thoughts on being black in America. They explain the pain many people feel and offer an unfiltered look at what's been going on for years. Our guests are Sherman Gillums Jr, Marine Corps veteran and Strategy Officer for AMVETS, and Navy Chief (Ret.) Anthony Elder.
