Summary
11.29.21 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Ala. fines Montgomery for removing Confederate street; Golfer Lee Elder dies; ending racial wealth gap
In October, Alabama's capital city removed the Confederate president's name from an avenue and renamed it after civil rights icon Fred D. Gray. Now the state attorney general says the city must pay a $25-thousand fine or face a lawsuit for violating a state law protecting Confederate monuments and other longstanding memorials. Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed will join us to talk about this craziness.
Two trials we have our eye on:
A Chicago judge begins questioning prospective jurors for former "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett's trial today. And Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, is preparing for tomorrow's start of the manslaughter trial of a former Minnesota police officer who fatally shot a Black man while yelling "Taser" during a traffic-stop-turned-arrest earlier this year.
A black man in New York who spent 39 years in jail for a rape he did not commit is now a free man after discovering serious flaws with his prosecution.
A star high school baseball player in New York transfers schools after a school assistant athletic director said the student got his speed - get this - from running from police.
Some sad news to report, designer Virgil Abloh, Flordia lawmaker Carrie Meek & the man who broke the color barrier in golf, Lee Elder, have died. We'll have a special tribute to Lee tonight.
