2 Black students in West Point, MS were named valedictorian and salutatorian this year. The parents of 2 white students refused to accept that, ultimately resulting in 4 honorees. Ikeria Washington and Layla Temple who were originally awarded the high honors join Ali Velshi to discuss how this unfolded at their high school and why they think their “co-honorees” didn’t earn their titles like they did.June 13, 2021
