Sherrilyn Ifill, Refounding American Democracy
Sherrilyn Ifill, former president of the Legal Defense Fund and current Howard University law professor, suggests that the United States needs to be "founded a third time." She argues that the 250th anniversary presents an opportunity for a new iteration of American democracy. The hosts compare her rhetoric to the decline of PBS NewsHour following the departure of her aunt, Gwen Ifill.
