This week, the United States marks 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Since its founding, the country has transformed itself through major advances in technology, economic power and civil rights. But those gains now sit alongside deepening political divisions, resurgent racism and renewed attacks on civil rights. So, 250 years on, can the US truly reckon with its past - and what does that mean for its future? This week on UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill speaks with author, professor and civil rights scholar Kimberle Crenshaw. #us250 #unitedstates #history #uspolitics #civilrights #aljazeeraenglish
