Description

Best-selling author Brit Bennett is following the success of her critically-acclaimed debut, "The Mothers," with a "The Vanishing Half," a novel exploring the American history of racial passing. She joins CBS News' Errol Barnett to discuss how the story, which opens in 1968, is particularly timely today. Bennett also shares her reaction to J.K. Rowling's controversial statements on transgender women and how the trending #PublishingPaidMe has uncovered inequities within the publishing industry.
