Bakari Sellers on the pursuit of American equity in 'The Moment'

Photo by John R. Walder.

Bakari Sellers was the youngest African American elected official in the country when he won a seat in the South Carolina state legislature at the age of 22.

Sellers is a civil rights attorney, a CNN political analyst, and the author of two books. The latest is an essay on race, politics, and equality, and a prescriptive call for how to address the challenges our country faces living up to its stated ideals.

He joins Midday to discuss his book, The Moment: Thoughts on the Race Reckoning that Wasn’t, and How We All Can Move Forward Now.
