Author Joél Leon joins "Black News Tonight" with Marc Lamont Hill to discuss his New York Times essay "As A Black Man on America, I Feel Death Looming Every Day." In it, he connects his own experiences of loss, grief and mental health challenges to wider questions of Black mortality and points to ways the Black community can find healing.
All this and more on “Black News Tonight.”
