On Into America presents: Uncounted Millions: The Power of Reparations, award-winning MSNBC correspondent Trymaine Lee dives into one of today’s most pressing debates: reparations.

And as more cities and states consider the issue at a policy level, he imagines how reparations might shape the whole of Black America.
