San Bernardino fights for comeback after decades of decline

Season 2025 Episode 71 | 9m 14s

Political scientist Robert Putnam told Judy Woodruff that strengthening the country’s democracy would begin with grassroots efforts by people stepping up in their own communities. Those efforts will be her focus this year and she begins by visiting a down, but not out, community in California that’s fighting for a comeback, one round at a time. It’s part of her series, America at a Crossroads.
