In this week’s episode, correspondent Shaun Scott talks with acclaimed writer Calvin Baker about his new book A More Perfect Reunion: Race, Integration, and the Future of America. In this conversation about the bracing, necessary book, Baker argues that the only meaningful remedy to our civil rights efforts is integration: the full self-determination and participation of all African-Americans, and all other oppressed groups, in every facet of national life. Don’t miss this call to action in our revolutionary democracy—and stay in the know about what’s going on in this moment at Town Hall Seattle.
