Nobody with Marc Lamont Hill | Black America

Carol Jenkins is joined by Marc Lamont Hill, distinguished Morehouse professor, CNN & BET contributor and Author of "Nobody: Casualties of America's War on the Vulnerable, from Ferguson to Flint and Beyond". The title "Nobody" came from a reference to Michael Brown, a teenager killed in Ferguson on August 9, 2014. In this interview, Marc Lamont Hill refers to the "nobody" that is truly "somebody" who can change the world. The "system" is often referred to as being broken when mentioning the treatment of black people, but Hill states that in fact, " the system is working and we should break it". (Taped: 08/03/16) Black America is an in-depth conversation that explores what it means to be Black in America.
