'Black At Mizzou' Documentary | Media Critics On Censorship

Segment 1, beginning at 3:54: "Black at Mizzou" confronts race on the University of Missouri campus.

Mizzou was in the national spotlight in 2015 after a string of racist incidents led Black students to protest on the predominantly white campus, but there's more to the story. A new audio documentary highlights the thriving campus within a campus that Black students created to make Mizzou a more welcoming place.

Segment 2, beginning at 28:50: The Media Critics weigh in on recent acts of censorship.

Was Bob Woodward wrong in not releasing President Donald Trump's thoughts on the pandemic sooner? Was it fair for University of Missouri System President Mun Choi to block student critics on Twitter? Our Media Critics attempt to sort it all out.
