Trump, race, and the slave auction block...

Conversations with Tom Ashbrook

Race and racism are fiery topics yet again in the USA, with a president who seems more than ready to fan the flames. Artist Steven Locke has his own take on our return to raw racism, and how facing history may yet lead us to a better way. He wants to build a slave auction block memorial in the nation's "Cradle of Liberty" - historic Boston, where slave trade fortunes help build the city where the American revolution was born.
