Race relations in the United States have been a central component in many of this year’s major news stories. White nationalists rallied in Charlottesville, Va., after the City Council voted to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee.

White nationalists rallied in Charlottesville, Va., after the City Council voted to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee. Black athletes have protested police brutality and racial injustice by kneeling during the national anthem. |
On Oct. 15, amid that climate, Trevor Noah, host of “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central and author of “Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood,” discussed issues of race and identity during a conversation that was part of Get With The Times, a new live event series for college students designed to inspire discussion around topics that are important to them. He was interviewed by John Eligon, a New York Times national correspondent who writes about race. | |
During the talk, Mr. Noah answered questions submitted by college students tuning in from watch parties that had been set up on campuses across the country. | |
