Season 3 Episode 308 | 56m 46s

Although race and identity have always shaped U.S. politics, they reemerged seven years ago, a political pivot and the unapologetic driver of Donald Trump's unexpected victory. In this show, a panel of nationally known voices from across the political and racial spectrums examines the role of race in American politics and how identity issues continue to shape our daily lives.
