The Supreme Court rules 6-3 against a Black Rastafarian man in Louisiana who had sued prison officials after they forcibly shaved off his dreadlocks, in what he said was a clear violation of his religious rights. Elie Mystal joins us to break down the latest from the high court. 

The MAGA Attack on voting rights faces a crucial setback as a federal judge intervenes to stop states from using software developed by immigration enforcement to review their voter rolls, which voting rights groups say would have resulted in unconstitutional voter purges. 

The family of Kohen Wiley, the one-year-old black boy shot and killed by police in a Walmart parking lot in Mississippi has announced funeral services will be held this coming weekend. The announcement comes as civil rights attorney Ben Crump demands video evidence in the case and has ordered an independent autopsy of the boy.

The Senate passed a new, bi-partisan housing bill which makes it easier to construct new homes and helps ensure they can be purchased by families, not corporations. With the legislation now headed to the House of Representatives, the president of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers will join us to analyze what impact these measures could have for black homeowners nationwide. 

In Ohio, a police officer has been placed on leave after bystander and body camera video show him kneeling on top of a 15-year-old girl following an altercation at a Juneteenth Festival last weekend. We'll show you that video and let you decide for yourself. 

And in the latest installment of Crazy Ass White People -- a black man and his family tried to go fishing in Florida last weekend, only to have a white couple show up, demand they move and then start calling them the n-word. Wait until you see this video.
