In a country where political division is being exacerbated by urban-rural divides, how can we increase mutual understanding? David McCullough thinks he has the answer in the American Exchange Project, which sends American high school seniors to different parts of the country the summer right after they graduate. Andrew sits down with David to talk about the project, progress that's been made, and the impact it's had so far. If the American Exchange trip becomes a new civic rite of passage, could we start to bridge the divide in the US?
