A new book explores a dialogue between a close friend of Martin Luther King Jr., also his former barber, and a modern social justice and youth advocate. In the book, Nelson Malden and Kevin Shird discuss how history and the Civil Rights Movement have created a roadmap for the future of racial justice.
