Aalaya Eastmond, activist and Parkland school shooting survivor, and Alicia Garza, the co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement, join Christiane Amanpour to discuss the intergenerational fight for racial justice and the exhaustion of being a black woman today. Lemn Sissay, the acclaimed British poet and author of “My Name is Why,” talks candidly about his harrowing journey in search of his true identity after he was stolen from his Ethiopian birth mother in 1967. He details the racism he experienced growing up with a foster family who then rejected him after 12 years of calling him son. Then, our Walter Isaacson speaks to Pulitzer prize-winning historians Annette Gordon-Reed and Jon Meacham to unpack the contradictions of one of America’s founding fathers: Thomas Jefferson, slave owner and advocate for equality. They pick up the discussion of the moment: whether to take down statues that, for many, are symbols of oppression and embody hundreds of years of systemic racism.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy
