"We've made enormous progress in race relations in this country, but the historical weight of discrimination based on color still is with us. It still burdens the United States of America, still prevents the United States of America from grasping the claim to being a truly great universally together nation…It’s been 61 years since Bull Connor and Selma, Alabama…this decision...opens the door, gives license to too many state legislatures to turn back the clock,” says veteran columnist Mike Barnicle during this Morning Joe conversation with National Action Network President the Rev.
