8.5.2024 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: NE AG Halts Restorative Voting Rights,Black Farmers get $2.2B Payments, Montgomery Brawl Anniversary


Nebraska's attorney general and secretary of state are attempting to nullify two laws enacted by the legislature that restored voting rights to people who have completed their sentences.  We'll discuss the case with The Sentencing Project's Senior Director of Advocacy. 

Black farmers get a monumental victory as they begin receiving payments from the $2.2 billion Discrimination Financial Assistance Program. 

A black activist in Nevada gets pummeled with racist threats by white people as he is trying to get a petition signed.  We'll show you what happened and hear him explain how it began. 

Ten years ago, Flint, Michigan, got sick from its drinking water, and the cover-up began. Tonight, we talk to a writer who's been covering the crisis since it began, reflecting on the government failures that created the issue.

We'll show you Roland's conversation he had with Civil Rights Attorney Ben Crump at this year's National Urban League Convention about the upcoming 10th anniversary of Michal Brown's death. 

And...Do you know what today is?  It's our anniversary! Last year, on this day, the infamous Montgomery Riverfront brawl took place.  Today, we'll look back at how the event unfolded, creating an unofficial holiday.
