April Ryan speaks with Congresswoman Alma Adams (D-NC) about the passing of her signature legislation, the Fostering Undergraduate Talent by Unlocking Resources for Education (FUTURE) Act, and the benefits to HBCUs, Black students, and the Black middle class.

April Ryan has a unique vantage point as the only Black female reporter covering urban issues from the White House, a position she has held with AURN since the Clinton era. Her position as a White House Correspondent has afforded her heightened insight into the racial sensitivities, issues, and attendant political struggles of our nation. April has written three books; The Presidency in Black & White: My Close-Up View of Three Presidents and Race in America, At Mama's Knee: Mothers and Race in Black and White, and Under Fire: Reporting from the Front Lines of the Trump White House.
