The simmering anger that came to the boil after George Floyd's death has made itself felt so often before. In every city in America, you can’t miss it. Sometimes it cools a little, but never for long. James Naughtie asks how America can ever erase the stain of what many refer to as the country's "original sin" - the sin of slavery.
