Wesley Lowery, Pulitzer Prize winning reporter and author of American Whitelash: A Changing Nation and the Cost of Progress, joins The Realignment. Marshall and Wesley discuss the rise and impact of the Black Lives Matter movement, the benefits and limits of "pragmatism," how the U.S. is (and isn't) fulfilling the promise of multiracial democracy, policing after "Defund," and where the reparations debate stands.
