On this edition of Your Call, journalist Adam Hochschild reminds us that battles against injustice have been won and will be won.
In his collection of essays, Lessons From a Dark Time, he writes that the Trumps and Putins of other eras have gotten the ignominy they deserve. Hochschild explores stories of surveillance, incarceration and injustice around the world and at home. What lessons can we learn from previous dark times?
