@Angie Thomas, author, on racism, US police brutality and black representation - BBC HARDtalk (2019)

When it comes to issues of race and racism, the gap between America's promise of equality and the reality of entrenched inequality seems depressingly wide. Generations of black Americans have made efforts to change that; how far have they got? Can hope win out over fear and hate?
