Do you agree that there's a lot of divisiveness in the country right now?

I love the way that you phrase that question because it's a big question.

I don't think there's anything irredeemable about this country.

McCarrie Sellers made history in 2006 at just 22 years old.

He defeated a 26 year incumbent state representative to become the youngest member

of the South Carolina State Legislature and the youngest African-American elected official in the nation.

Now in 2014 Sellers won the Democratic nomination for Lieutenant Governor and South Carolina

and has also worked for United States Congressman James Clyburn and former Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin.

He is widely considered to be a rising star within the Democratic Party and leading voice for

his generation. You're going to find out why in just a few minutes because I'm going to quit

rattling and let him talk. He has followed in the footsteps of his father, civil rights leader Dr. Cleveland

Sellers, in his tireless commitment to public service while championing progressive policies

to address issues ranging from education and poverty to preventing domestic violence and childhood obesity.

Sellers earned his undergraduate degree from Morehouse College and his law degree from the University

of South Carolina. Now he is the author of the New York Times best-selling book My Vanishing Country,

a memoir which has been described as part memoir, part historical and cultural analysis,

illustrating the lives of America's forgotten black working class men and women and his new book,

An Inspiring Picture Book Who Are Your People, which is a tribute to the family and community

that really helps make us who we are. He has also expanded his audience with the Bacari Sellers

podcast, a twice a week show, part of the Ringer podcast network that addresses a variety of topics

really from politics, race, sports, media, the presidential campaign and really a whole lot more.
