    We debate the importance of symbolism, be it of a flag or a dollar bill. Support builds to remove the Confederate flag from government property and to end sales of anything with the symbol. The Treasury has announced they will remove Alexander Hamilton from the $10 bill and put a woman on it instead. Should Andrew Jackson come off the $20 instead? As Keli Goff says "I love this country. I won't say its the easiest country to be an African-American woman, but it is probably the best."

    Josh Barro (New York Times) moderates from the Center. On the Left, is Robert Scheer (TruthDig.com). Rich Lowry (National Review) is on the Right. And Keli Goff (Daily Beast) is our special guest.
