State Treasurer Shawn Wooden was born and raised in Hartford. He's seen firsthand how systemic racism limits access to housing, education and opportunity in Connecticut's cities. Police shootings of unarmed men and high rates of police stops of people of color in the suburbs aren't just news reports or statistics for him. "This is the America I know," he tells John Dankosky on "Steady Habits" this week. "And this America continues to scare me."
