Trying to make sense of one of the most pivotal years in American history, scholar Eric Klinenberg decided to focus on 2020 by using seven New Yorkers as his lens.
With social unrest, economic turbulence and a presidential election as his backdrop, Klinenberg tells a story that is still far from finished in his new book, "2020: One City, Seven People, and the Year Everything Changed."
Klinenberg joined NY1's Errol Louis to discuss these seven stories and why he thought his approach was the best way to tackle 2020. They also discussed whether New York is any better equipped to handle another pandemic.
