FROM 1776 TO TRUMP : WHITE MOBS, RACIST HEROES AND HIDDEN HISTORY

DONALD TRUMP hit his lowest moment when he blamed "both sides" for the murder of anti-racist protester Heather Heyer in Charlottesville.

Dr. Gerald Horne is the Chair of History and African American Studies at the University of Houston and is the author of over 20 books on slavery and the Black liberation movement; most recently The Counter-Revolution of 1776: Slave Resistance and the Origins of the United States. He talks with Abby Martin.
