We heard about why the protests are starting to surge now. Yahoo News and ABC News will begin to share content. American Airlines could be close to bankruptcy. Commentator Angela Glover Blackwell discussed her ideas for getting minorities back to work. We heard about the old-school way of fixing broken gadgets in Mozambique.
