"In the 1960s we had a very easily identifiable enemy. There were laws saying, “You cannot sit here, you cannot eat here, you cannot go to school.” In the 1970s and '80s, '90s and early 2000s, and even today — well, I'll get to today – but in the period that we cover, racism and exclusion were not quite so obvious, and it was important to us to point out that while laws had been eradicated or changed, behaviors had not always been eradicated or changed. And so our job was a little harder. We had to point to things that were more subtle forms of discrimination and exclusion. Those were the stories that we were looking for.

I would say that 2025 is now becoming more like 1968, where there are specific and not subtle attacks on full equality for all people, regardless of background. When Trump has weaponized the term diversity as something that corporations, educational institutions and even PBS are stepping back from, that is outrageous"
