We have our eye on two trials. The one in Georgia of the three white men who chased and gunned down Ahmaud Arbery. The focus was on who was in the courtroom and not who was testifying.

The defense has concluded its case in the Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial.

Congressman Steven Horsford, the 1st Vice-Chair of The Congressional Black Caucus, will be on our show today to discuss the Build Back Better Plan.

An Alabama county is the first environmental justice investigation to be conducted by the Justice Department. Lowndes County residents allege Alabama's health department is aware of low-income black residents' burden in accessing safe wastewater-management systems.

The family of a black man killed by a Chicago police officer is wondering why he was still on the force with a history of violence and a recommendation to be fired in 2016.

In South Carolina, a principal is accused of forcing a 9-year-old to clean a school bathroom with a toothbrush as punishment.

Show notes

11.05.2021 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: October job numbers report is out, and apparently, it beat expectations and contends the country closer to full employment. So what's all this about a failing economy? I spoke with the Council of Economic Advisers Chair to break down the numbers and let us know if our economy is booming or not.

Opening arguments have begun in the trial of the three men accused of hunting down Ahmaud Arbery as he jogged through a south Georgia neighborhood. The defense laid down its case. Saying, Ahmaud could still be alive if he just answered the questions of the white men chasing him. We'll have a recap of what happened today.

Friends, family, and former colleagues gathered today at Washington's National Cathedral to honor Colin L. Powell, the first Black chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and later served as the first Black secretary of state.

We'll tell you about two men who have been exonerated. One man spent nearly 20 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. The other had his charges dismissed after his arresting officer was caught on tape planting evidence.

Howard University President Dr. Wayne Fredrick just finished up his state of the university address calling for an end to the student protest.

We'll tell you about a Georgia school where students excel in academia through holistic and STEAM-related practices in our Education Matters segment.

And a Crazy Ass White Person gets owned, thrown, and fired. You'll see what happened during San Diego's board of supervisors meeting, where an anti-vaxxer thought he would be able to get away with a racist, sexist rant. Well, one board supervisor was ready for all the smoke.

Show notes

11.01.21 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: For the second time, Oklahoma Death row inmate Julius Jones' life is being recommended to be spared by the state's Pardon and Parole Board. It's back up to the governor who declined to commute Jones' sentence last month. Tonight, Jones' spiritual advisor tells us how he is doing after today's hearing. The Virginia governor's race is too close to call. I spoke with Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe to find how what he wants to say to black voters the night before the election. It's being called the most contentious ballot item in Minneapolis in years: the public safety charter amendment, which would create a Department of Public Safety and a new public health approach to safety. We have the Communications Director from Yes 4 Minneapolis here to explain. Sen. Joe Manchin says he will not vote for the $1.75 trillion Build Back Better bill. He says he needs more time to consider the social safety net package's framework. Howard University students still protesting got a chance to sit with some civil rights icons. Rev. Jesse Jackson and Rev. William Barber gave the students what they were desiring, a listening ear. In return, they got some protesting advice. Howard isn't the only HBCU with some angry students. We'll tell you why the Tuskegee University Marching Crimson Piper Band is boycotting all school activities. An Alabama judge is no longer on the bench after asking a black man if he was a drug dealer when one of his staffers purchased a new car.
