2.18.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered:Georgia Fort Pleads Not Guilty. Paralyzed Man Case Charges Dropped. Roy Cooper Senate Bid

When reporting the truth becomes a crime. Independent journalist Georgia Fort is here to talk about her not guilty plea to federal felony charges tied to January's Minnesota church protest. 

A Connecticut case takes a troubling turn after a Black man was paralyzed after a routine arrest--now charges against current and former officers have been dropped, despite a judge initially ruling they would stand trial.

He helped lead North Carolina, and now former North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper wants a seat in the U.S. Senate. 

We'll continue honoring the life and legacy of Reverend Jesse Jackson with his son Jonathan, Marc Morial, and Pastor Frederick Haynes.

3.17.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Senate SAVE Act Debate. Ill. Primary Election. Obama Pushes Va. Restricting Vote. Gas Prices Soar.

The Senate is currently engaged in a highly contentious debate regarding the SAVE America Act, which aims to overhaul election laws nationwide.

In Illinois, voters have just two hours left to cast their ballots in an election that could indicate a significant shift in the state's political landscape.

The Justice Department is lowering the qualifications needed to become a U.S. Attorney.

In Texas, a federal judge has ruled to extend the application deadline for the state's school voucher program after four Muslim parents and three private schools sued state leaders, claiming that Islamic private schools were excluded from participating in the program. We will speak with one of the attorneys involved in the case.

Additionally, in tonight's Shop Black Star Network Marketplace segment, we will discuss skincare products made with all-natural ingredients and highlight the importance of self-care and nourishment for achieving a healthy complexion.

3.13.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Target Boycott Not Over. SAVE Act Clash in Senate. Police Drag Black Woman From Car

A year-long boycott of Target is ending--at least according to some national activist leaders--but local organizers say the protest is far from over. The co-founder of the National Target Boycott and civil rights attorney, Nekima Levy Armstrong, joins us next to clarify why this boycott isn't over yet.

As the twice-impeached, criminally convicted felon-in-chief, Donald "The Con" Trump continues to push for the SAVE Act, millions could lose access to the ballot. We'll show an exchange on the Senate floor where Democratic Senator Dick Durbin tells Republican Senator John Cornyn why the SAVE Act is harmful.

We've covered the political group led by Black MAGA member A.C. Cordoza for sending misleading mailers to Black voters in Virginia. Now, anonymous MAGA money is backing the campaign with a wave of those same mailers ahead of Virginia's April 21 vote.

In a troubling incident, a black woman was forcibly removed from her car by a Texas police officer. Her name is Taneisha Thompson. We have the viral video and will be joined by Thompson and her attorney, Lee Merritt, for an exclusive interview on Roland Martin Unfiltered.

And, I sat down with evangelical leader and author Jim Wallis to talk about his new book, The False White Gospel, and the rise of White Christian nationalism. Stay tuned for our full interview, coming up next.
