This edition: America's Racial Reckoning

Episode Details

Original tape date: July 22, 2020. First aired: July 24, 2020.

A special edition of "The New York Times Close Up." In the months since the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis cops, we have seen massive demonstrations, with some cities, including New York, seeing protests continuing for weeks. We've also seen changes ranging from police reforms like NYC banning chokeholds by cops to Mississippi removing the Confederate emblem from the state flag. But what would a true reckoning on racism in America really look like?

Guests: NYT editorial board member Mara Gay, NYT national correspondent John Eligon and NYT Metro reporter Nikita Stewart.
