About this episode
Dr. Catherine Meeks discusses racial unity and Barbara McQuade addresses threats to democracy.
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. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
