NightSide - Michael Curry, President of the Boston NAACP Discusses Race Relations In America

BOSTON (CBS) - The recent events in Ferguson and other cities around the country have brought the conversation about race in America to center stage. While we like to think that our society is always progressing and moving forward, it sometimes feels like the racial tension in this country is worse than even just ten or fifteen years ago. Michael Curry, President of the Boston NAACP, sits down with Dan to talk about our current situation and how we can begin to heal as a nation. Do you think we are a more divided country now than in the recent past? Or are we finally having the uncomfortable conversations that have been simmering below the surface for decades?

Originally broadcast February 3rd, 2015.
