Amanpour: Mary Frances Berry, Deval Patrick and Admiral Mike Mullen

Philonise Floyd, brother of the late George Floyd, testified before a House hearing on Wednesday, urging lawmakers to “do the right thing” and take action on police violence. Meanwhile, coronavirus continues to rage in the U.S., spiking in 19 states, and taking a severe toll on black communities. Christiane Amanpour speaks to Mary Frances Berry, former Chair of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, about the interplay between democracy, racism and health at this crucial moment in America’s history. Then, to achieve lasting change, innovation will be needed not just in police departments, but in education, health and economic policy. Christiane speaks to Deval Patrick, former Governor of Massachusetts, about the structural reform America needs to see. And our Walter Isaacson speaks to Admiral Mike Mullen, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, about why he chose to speak out after the National Guard were used to disperse protesters in Washington, and he gives his take on the growing militarization of America’s domestic police force.
