Leonard T. Miller, Diversity in Auto Racing History

Author Leonard T. Miller appears on C-SPAN to discuss his book "Racing While Black," where he criticizes the modern "diversity" movement for erasing the long history of African American participation in auto racing dating back to 1910. Miller argues that the current focus on being the "first" ignores previous pioneers. The hosts analyze the audience's positive reaction to his critique of "diversity crap."
