Shelton, Director of the NAACP Washington Bureau and Vice President for Advocacy and Policy, discusses the group's recent travel advisory issued for the state of Missouri, due to recent racist incidents and statistics indicating that African Americans are 75% more likely to be stopped and searched by police than Caucasian drivers there.
