What Michelle Obama Can Tell Us About Race In America (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

First Lady Michelle Obama stepped to the commencement day podium at the historic black Tuskegee University and talked about race. And the country lit up for days in response. From conservative talkers complaining of too much bitterness and grievance, to late-night hosts having fun again with the First Lady remembering being portrayed with a huge Afro and a machine gun. It’s still got us thinking. This hour On Point: we settle in on Michelle Obama’s view with three black women. Pulitzer Prize-winner Isabel Wilkerson, LA Times columnist Sandy Banks, a mom from Ferguson, Missouri, and you.
