In his new book, Small Acts of Courage, MSNBC's chief correspondent Ali Velshi argues that working for social justice and in public service is the most important part of his and his family's history because, as he writes, "democracy isn't democracy unless it's universal." Velshi, whose family came to Canada from India via South Africa and Kenya, joins Piya Chattopadhyay to talk about the meaning of citizenship, his family's journey, and the role journalism should play in a healthy democracy.
