ABC News is exploring the racial reckoning sweeping the nation and reviving The Turning Point Series for an entire month. The series will be aired over Nightline.

Turning Point, the ‘90s ABC News program, will explore how centuries of injustice led to this year's movement. Marie Nelson, senior vice president of integrated content strategy for ABC News, said in a statement, “Over the past few weeks and months, there has been a fever pitch echoing across the nation for this country to combat and undo its hundreds of years of systemic racism and inequities. With these special ‘Turning Point’ reports our viewers will see our commitment to addressing this pivotal moment.”

ABC News intends to feature “Turning Point” segments on “Good Morning America,” “World News Tonight,” “The View,” “20/20” and “This Week,” as well as on its digital, streaming and audio outlets.
