How Trump Upended 60 Years of Civil Rights

摘要

Solana Pine, the director of video at the New York Times, introduces a new video feed in the Watch tab of the New York Times app. This is followed by a discussion with Nikole Hannah-Jones about President Trump's actions that are dismantling the civil rights infrastructure in the US, specifically through the guise of attacking DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) programs. These actions are causing a fear among Black Americans that their civil rights gains may be rolled back.
