Katy Tur on why it’s difficult for her father to confront her past

“I think because she’s ashamed…I think it’s hard to confront the bad things…But I also know that, as a mother myself, you have to confront the things that are hard and uncomfortable in order to move past them. To gain an understanding of them and break that cycle. It’s the same for our country, we’ve got to confront the ugly parts of our past, we can’t just bury them or pretend they didn’t happen. We have to confront them and move and be a better country.”- Katy Tur
