Today, we share our one-hour special with Newark-based civil rights activist, attorney and author Junius Williams. Williams discusses his book, "Unfinished Agenda: Urban Politics in the Era of Black Power." We take a look at the evolution of the civil rights and Black power movements, their Southern roots and their applications in northern cities like Newark. We also explore the relationship between younger militants and Dr. King, the war on poverty as it began, and income inequality today.
