At campuses around the country, student activists are protesting what they call systemic racism. One university president has been forced to resign. On other campuses, administrators are struggling over how to respond when protesters disregard other people's right to free speech.

Later on the program we talk with biographer Jon Meacham about nine years of personal interviews with George H.W. Bush.
