Fmr. Pres. of the NAACP Ben Jealous on Reconciling America

Ben Jealous has worn many hats -- scholar, philanthropist, former president of the NAACP, and even a former Democratic nominee for governor of Maryland. Now, the New York Times bestselling author has a new memoir set for release tomorrow. To discuss this and his journey navigating life as a biracial man in America, Jealous speaks with Walter Isaacson.
