Only on the "CBS This Morning" podcast, Black Lives Matter organizer DeRay McKesson discusses his new book, "On The Other Side Of Freedom: The Case For Hope" with "CBS This Morning Saturday" co-host Michelle Miller. McKesson traveled to Ferguson, Missouri in 2014 to protest the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown by a white police officer. He planned on only staying for a weekend, but ended up quitting his job and staying for over a year. He explains his signature blue vest, the difference between faith and hope, and the threat white supremacy poses in the United States. McKesson also gets personal discussing his mother abandoning him and seeing the best and worst of Twitter as an social platform. |
