How today's divisions in America are different from what we’ve seen before

After deciding to step away from the anchor desk, Judy Woodruff wanted to use this time to hone in on a topic she feels is the most urgent one facing our country: the deep divisions and distrust among us. She begins with a look back at our recent history, and some of her own, to try to better understand the nature of the divides we face. It’s part of our new series, America at a Crossroads.
