In a conversation moderated by Jenn White, host of “1A” from WAMU and NPR, Ali and Spencer Ackerman, author of Reign of Terror, speak about how the 9/11 era continues to shape today’s political and societal landscapes, and how millennial activists are pushing back against a rising tide of xenophobia.
