Wes Moore: America’s History Is ‘Deeply Uneven;’ ‘Oppression’ and ‘Segregation’ Were the Law of the Land

EXCERPT:

MOORE: "If there's one thing I know about the history of this country, the history of this country’s been deeply uneven and deeply unfair for families like yours, family like mine. And to your point, there’s no one who needs to remind any of us that there are answers that this country has still not answered. I also know this -- and this is why policy does matter — is we come from a history and a legacy when oppression and segregation and institutionalized racism wasn’t just condoned, it was the law of the land. That we are literally a century ago when we had klansmen openly walking through the streets, being welcomed into the White House."
