Hillary Clinton challenged Black Lives Matter activists to work toward change by working to change the law. When it comes to racial justice: What’s your proposal for changing policy? Mark Winston Griffith, executive director of the Brooklyn Movement Center, joins to talk about how emotion can meet public policy.

@BrianLehrer Haven't heard the whole BLM exchange, but I'm hearing good points from @HillaryClinton here.

It's a little unfair to say there haven't been any policy recommendations until now, says @BKMovement's Mark Winston Griffith.

@BrianLehrer This HRC tape is fascinating. Hearts and minds v. Systems and allocations; activist turned pol meets new activism

Mark Winston Griffith says the #BlackLivesMatter is an emotional response; activists wanted @HillaryClinton to talk on an emotional level.

Mark Winston Griffith: It's reasonable for activists to say to Hillary: it's your job to be confronted with problems & come up w/the policy.
