Award-winning author Mitch Albom discusses his free, online book, "Human Touch," which he released to raise money for COVID-19 relief efforts in Detroit. He talks with host Tonya Mosley about the importance of human connection and touch amidst these unprecedented times. Also, senior editor at the Atlantic Derek Thompson argues that the protests over police violence and the pandemic show that American institutions are failing right now. That's because the country is focused on threats of the past, he says.
