Ta-Nehisi Coates appeared on the CBS morning show to promote his new book, "The Message," which includes a section about his trip to the Israeli-occupied West Bank. This experience deeply informs his criticism of what he describes as "apartheid" in Israel. In this video, we explore Coates' reflections on his visit, the impact of seeing the situation firsthand, and how it has shaped his understanding of systemic oppression. Coates' perspective adds an important voice to the ongoing conversation about the responsibility of writers to influence societal narratives, particularly around the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
