13:50Now PlayingThe New York Times is reporting the Justice Department is preparing to investigate universities’ affirmative action policies for antiwhite bias, in what critics say is the latest assault against civil rights by Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The Times says the Justice Department sent out an internal announcement looking for lawyers to lead "investigations and possible litigation related to intentional racebased discrimination in college and university admissions." The Supreme Court has upheld the constitutionality of affirmative action policies, which take race and ethnicity into account in college admissions in efforts to address centuries of institutionalized discrimination against people of color and women. We speak with Nikole HannahJones, an awardwinning reporter covering racial injustice at The New York Times Magazine.
