7:44Now PlayingWith the national political conventions beginning next week, protests against police brutality continue to sweep across the country in the wake of the fatal police shootings of African Americans Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Philando Castile in Falcon Heights, Minnesota. Racial justice has been one of the core issues of the 2016 presidential election cycle. With the Democratic and Republican parties decided on their nomineesformer Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and real estate mogul Donald Trumpmany are askingWhich will most push for racial justice? The answer, at least to Princeton professor Eddie Glaude, is neither of them. We speak with Eddie Glaude, chair of the Department of African American Studies at Princeton University, and his son, Langston, who is an undergraduate at Brown University. Eddie Glaude said, "Those that are not in the battleground states, those of us in blue states or red states, we should leave the ballot blank."
