What to Reid

On this episode of What to Reid, Joy-Ann talks with CNN political analyst and the former youngest black elected official in South Carolina history Bakari Sellers, whose new book, "My Vanishing Country" explores the lives of America's REAL forgotten men and women, in America's black rural south. Part-biography, part cultural-historical analysis, the book tells the story of Sellers' family in Denmark, South Carolina, including his father's shooting by police during the civil rights era, and of the Americans who are often overlooked in standard media narratives.
