On this edition of Your Call’s Media Roundtable, we are speaking with the Nation’s John Nichols about his new book The Fight for the Soul of the Democratic Party: The Enduring Legacy of Henry Wallace's Anti-Fascist, Anti-Racist Politics.
Seventy-five years ago, Henry Wallace, FDR's vice president, predicated that without a massive postwar New Deal project, American fascists would use fear mongering, xenophobia, and racism to regain economic and political power. What can we learn from that time?
