Inspired by Jeff Chang's best-selling, critically acclaimed collection of essays, we discover a nation of historically unprecedented diversity becoming more separate and more unequal. Each episode examines a different aspect of a profound puzzle: Silicon Valley resegregation, Hollywood images, Harvard admissions, and more. The series asks the questions: why and how did we become so divided? What can we do now to be alright?

Jeff Chang visits East Palo Alto, a historically Black and Latino community in the heart of Silicon Valley, to hang out with rapper, dancer and performer Isaiah Phillips a.k.a. Randy McPhly, who appeared in Kendrick Lamar's "Alright" video. They talk about the domino effects of gentrification and displacement, resegregating an area where the rents have been rising dramatically and people of color feel like they're not part of the future.
