Make It Plain with Mark Thompson

Marc Morial, President of the National Urban League, says the phenomenon of today in Black America is the working poor: great jobs, prestigious degrees, but salaries that haven't kept up with inflation and therefore keeps Black people earning an average of $30,000 dollars less than white families per year. And that's just one piece of the pie, as we're facing a health crisis that is spurring on an economic crisis, and simultaneously is the racial justice crisis. Ahead of this Saturday's March on Washington, Marc explains how "we have an opportunity to stand on [Martin Luther King's] shoulders."
