The black community has been disproportionately affected by COVID-19 – so much so that the U.S. Surgeon General is urging African Americans to adopt healthier habits. But former state legislator Bakari Sellers says it’s not that simple. He tells Michel what he thinks the Surgeon General got wrong and discusses his new memoir about growing up in South Carolina during the civil rights movement.
