Video Description
From mass ICE raids in immigrant communities to anti-DEI policies, racial tensions seem to be intensifying under President Trump. Jelani Cobb, Dean of the Columbia School of Journalism, told his students back in March that "nobody can protect you. These are dangerous times." In his new book — a collection of his articles over the last decade — Cobb reflects on how the U.S. got to this place.
