As the Trump Administration attacks the gains of the 1960s Black Freedom Movement, which addressed centuries of racist apartheid and greatly benefitted all of U.S. society, we interview Gerald Horne about his new book on that era of revolutionary change. We also discuss his other new book: African Americans and a New History of the USA. Plus headlines.
