For the first time ever, the four largest cities in the United States are led by Black mayors, as are scores of other smaller municipalities across the country. How did we get here?

Featuring Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell and former Shreveport Mayor Adrian Perkins. Moderated by former IOP Pritzker Fellow and former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms.
