SUMMARY:  This weeks marks the 50th anniversary of the Kerner Commission, a bipartisan assessment of race in America that revealed the nation to be both separate and unequal.  A half century later, a new report ["Healing Our Divided Society"] takes stock of what we’ve begun to fix, and what still needs to be done.  Hari Sreenivasan talks to the author of the new report, Fred Harris, and Darren Walker president of the Ford Foundation.
