Tolerance

Description

Passed by referendum, California's Proposition 187 prohibits undocumented immigrants from using social services such as health care and education. This law, along with a record number of hate crimes, attacks on civil rights, the escalation of racism, and community conflict created an atmosphere of hopelessness among minorities. This episode examines Los Angeles' attempts to promote tolerance. Also featured are interviews with controversial author and philosopher, Cornel West, and human rights hero and children's conflict resolution educator, Darryl Williams. Williams was paralyzed by a sniper's bullet during Boston's busing crisis in 1979?
