After several months of protests across the country demanding
racial justice and police reform, longtime civil rights leader Al
Sharpton has released a new book, Rise Up: Confronting a Country at
the Crossroads. The book is a call to action at a time when
Sharpton says America is ready for true change. Sharpton
calls on Americans to go beyond addressing racial justice and also
make strides for the LGBTQ community, women, immigrants, poor
people, and the environment. We talk with Sharpton about his
decades fighting injustice and what work still needs to be done.
