President Obama sat down with NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt today to discuss criminal justice issues, and he expressed the hope that his successor cares just as much as he does about these issues.

Obama said he’s “proud” that his presidency has been able to address issues of racial disparity and racial justice, saying, “I do so hoping that my successor, who’s not African-American, if he or she is not, that they’ll be just as concerned as I am.”
