Melissa Harris-Perry 9-8-12 mp4 torrent

Melissa Harris-Perry; Saturday, September 8, 2012.

MHP looked at power from a number of perspectives. First, introduced the latest edition of This Week in Voter Suppression!™ (they're about to trademark that), digging through the fine print of Pennsylvania's voter-ID legislation. They looked at how power is used in actual governance, from domestic to foreign policy. And as the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks approaches this week, They examined the power of violence and terrorism in our lives, and how the definitions of those words have changed since that horrible day. Lastly, Melissa ended the show with a hopeful Footnote which you don't want to miss.

MHP's guests included:

Judith Browne Davis, co-director of the Advancement Project.
Mickey Edwards, former U.S. Congressman, vice president of the Aspen Institute, and author of "The Parties Versus The People."
Amaney Jamal, politics professor at Princeton University and author of "Of Empires and Citizens."
Valarie Kaur, Sikh American filmmaker and director of Groundswell, an initiative at Auburn Seminary.
Eboo Patel, author of "Sacred Ground" and founder and president of Interfaith Youth Core.
Kenji Yoshino, law professor at New York University.
