Recorded in the height of COVID-19 and the overdue racial reckoning of America. Emmy-award winning video journalist and correspondent Dolly Li tells the untold story of Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Tu Youyou, who discovered the cure for malaria in ancient Chinese texts. We discuss Black Lives Matter, Asians For Black Lives, what makes this particular moment in time different than previous fights for civil liberties, and how we can stand in solidarity to move forward.
