It's December 9th. In 1997, Bill Clinton hosted a series of town hall conversations about America's race relations.
Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss why Clinton felt the town hall format was the best way to convene these events, and why the "national conversation on race" didn't lead to much actual policy change.
